Hi
I think you must realise that now you started with polyester that you
now have to do the full job, that will also make any problem with the
deck much easyer to fix. ---- Seen loads of old boats saved with
various glasfiber treadments but, those where the owner are satisfied
are allway\s these where the intire hull plus deck in one shall are
covered with enough resin to make the new hull stronger than the old.
Sorry but this is how it is, any one who only done the bottom ,after a
year start complain that the glasfiber start going lose, start complain
that to repair that all the glasfiber done a few years ago have to be
taken off again so, please consider what you will gain doing the lot
once and for all, as when done and done right you have a boat that will
last . But then the new layers need to be "stronger than the old boat",
---- beside epoxy are more expensive, you can cover much more with
glasfiber and resin and once the intire hull is covered you have the
boat you want, not one that need patch after patch.
