small hull patch
Last fall I drilled several small holes, about 1/4 inch, into the
hollow, sacrificial keels of my cat. I was exploring for water which has been known to get into the keels, but found none. Now I have to patch the holes. I know I have grind them out a bit, and take the paint off nearby, but I wondering if anyone has a suggestion as to the best way to seal the holes: epoxy, polyester, or something else. I think they're too small to bother with glass, but its not out of the question. BTW, one of the sisterships that did find water epoxied in air compressor nozzles so that keels could be pressurized to find the leaks, which were at the seam with the main hulls. The nozzles were then replaced with drain plugs. Since I had no intrusion, I don't need to get that fancy. |
