There have been some comments/questions re using epoxy injection
and/or so-called "rot fixing epoxies" with regards to repairing wet
coring in sandwich laminates, e.g. deck and coachroof.
Let me point out some things and you draw your own conclusions:
NOTE
eck Core Pix LINK is not functional as it links to

I think that all rotten deck core material looks the same though,.....
But the written material is at the 1st URL ( at the top)
Rather basic stuff but issues that one may be willing to over look
considering the work and cost of recoring a deck.

Foam Core Materials in the Marine Industry
by Trevor Gundberg, Composite Materials Engineer with DIAB Inc.
For over 60 years foam cores have been utilized in marine applications
to lighten, stiffen, and strengthen everything form hull bottoms to
fly bridges. But what exactly is foam core? What type do I use, and
where can I use it? Should I use it instead of balsa or plywood? With
the seemingly endless variety of foam core materials on the market
today, it can be frustrating for the average boating enthusiast to
find the right foam core for his/her particular application. This
article will attempt to inform boat builders about the properties and
correct manufacturing procedures involved in constructing foam core
sandwich laminates.

Ok, I did group a bunch of links together and should be enough info to
become somewhat familar with deck recoring....
Enjoy.....
