Yeah great Tripps. I look forward to seeing them. According tho the Seacast website it is very important to not have residual wood/dust in there to contaminate the bind. How did you go with that?

Good one. Let me know how it all comes together. I had my heart set on going down the Coosa way but now I probably will go with marine ply. I was talking to JDub yesterday & he said that I shouldn't even use epoxy. Since it was originally a polyester boat, the repair should continue on with these resins not epoxy. Wow the plot thickens??

Epoxy sticks to polyester, polyester doesn't stick well to cured polyester. Go to the West system website.
