Surf ski (long, skinny sit-on-top kayak).
The deck is bonded to the hull by what looks like fiberglass mixed with polyester resin. The bonding stuff is about 1/8" thick. Can't tell if there's a flange yet. Around the seat well, there is about 18" where the deck/hull connection is cracked. I figure I'll chisel out the existing mix - and try to feel out the flange, hoping that if it's there it is flat and not s-shaped. Then I'll trowel in a mixture of epoxy and either loose fibers or just wadded-up cloth. Does this sound right? Will there be a strength diff between the two fillers? -- PeteCresswell |
