Deck Core Repair
I have discovered that I have wet core in several locations on my
cabin top. My limited experience with fiber glass has been with West
System Epoxies and I am comfortable with their use. The bottom skin
has been removed, the wet core excised and the top skin abraded and
prepped for bonding. I intend to wet out the underside of the top skin
and use Baltek Contour Kore AL600/10 to replace the core. After that
cures, I need to build up a bottom skin of at least 3/16". I need a
layup schedule that will give me max strength with the fewest number
of plies. This is a winter project. I will be able to maintain 40* in
the boat and intend on using the fast hardener. All suggestions are
welcome and hints as to technique or alternate methods are
appreciated.
