Fiberglass cutting
I have to cut out a 12" x 12" section of a bulkhead to install a foot rest. The bulkhead is fiberglass with balsa core. Should I seal the balsa core with some type of resin before installing the foot rest. It is in a place where it is not exposed to a lot of water. If so, what type of resin should I use?

Just using the epoxy is probaby ok but if you REALLY want to do it correctly you should put Glass over it. Resin will not keep it from cracking and once you get a crack you will have a place for water to get in.
