Balsa deck core
Just wondering do you guys that use epoxy for everything also use titanium
for auto body repairs after all it's better than steel. It seems rather silly to repair a polyester and glass boat which is old with epoxy and the latest high tech fabrics. Why not try resin infusion too John "Jim Conlin" wrote in message ... I figure it'd be somewhat over $10/ft^2. Core-cell $4- maybe 4 laminations of: 12 oz. knitted Glass $10/yd = $.80/ft^2/ply epoxy $70/gal = $.60/ft^2/ply paint $1/ft^2 plus abrasives, peel ply, fillers, vacuum bag consumables "DSK" wrote in message .. .

But I think you grossly (very grossly) overestimated the cost & amount of materials needed for replacing core on a 20' deck. It's not going to be free, that's not what I'm saying. DSK |
