Reply to: Failed soft spot repair

Message body

[quote=waiex191]I've been away for a couple of weeks.  First visiting family, then Oshkosh 21.  I'm back.

There were low spots in the repair above, where the big oval hole was.  So, I made some flox out of sawdust & resin and filled it in a bit.

Next, I've sanded it down.

I think it's good enough.  I took some of my harvested foam core from the failed hull and bonded pieces together to get one about the right shape.  I just used 5 minute epoxy on the edges.  I trimmed/sanded the edges to make them square and flat.  To transfer the shape from the hull to the foam, I used a sharpie to mark around the perimeter.  Next I taped a leftover piece of 1.5 oz white ripstop nylon in place so I could transfer the sharpie marks and cut out the shape.  Sort of hard to see the white translucent-ish nylon on the white hull, but that is what is going on here.
