That's the story I got. So I'm not too sure. And Tim, once you've understood the fundamentals behind fiberglass and the right way to fully saturate and cure it, it really isn't that big of a job... You just cut out whatever messed up. Give yourself an outside shape to work off of, put some coring on the inside. And glass it all in on the inside and make sure you retab the top and bottom good.. Fiberglass is fiberglass.
Like I asked on the other thread "When are you going to finish something ? " That's how you gain respect here as a builder or businessman, finishing something.

Only because I'm proud of what I did in my career and know the education it took I'm calling B.S. on you and your over simplifaction of structural work. There is an element of education required for structure design and/or repair regardless of the materials used, be it wood, composite, metals or combined elements. Actually repair can be significantly more difficult then initial design. In our business we typically found guys with your mindset not doing well at interviews.

did i say anything about over simplifying a major repair? i just said it doesnt matter how old you are. once youve done it, every day, for a while, its all the same BS. once you understand the fundamentals of structural repair, it all falls into the same figurative box... for someone who has been doing glass work, for what is this, idk 5 or 6 years now, its all pretty much the same old story for whatever im fixing.
tell me again how i dont finish anything?
when you have so much customer work its hard to get your own stuff finished...

in Phils defense fiberglass repair is not rocket science , Grind the crap out of it and use vinlyester or epoxy resin so the repair adheres while using plenty of quality cloth and you are half way there.
Phil what is the story on the boat that you repaired with the delamination and hole down by the keel area ?
