The google docs share says anyone can read w/o login but something isn't working right.

Carl: I'll assume you also saw the images from the Stockton job with 4 boats at one time!

Ahoy Carl,

Regarding the write-up and the filling of holes.  Page 3 shows how the holes would be filled using polyester resin.  If using epoxy (recommended) then put the Largest piece of glass down first onto the old material.  Then add each additional piece from largest to smallest.  On the inside of the hull, it is not necessary to grind away a divot.  Just grind the area clean and lay the layers of glass standing proud.  Use the same pattern/sequence as on the outside.  Be sure both lay-ups are good - that is, no bubbles.  For the filler, I use PVC foam. Or "boat builders foam".  Just about anything will work though as long as it will properly hold the epoxy.

Good luck,

Carl:  Here is an album of hull patching from my picasa site.  Link

The use of peel ply (West systems 879 Release Fabric?)  on the outside will help keep the epoxy and glass from sagging.. ie you can work the bubbles out of the patch with a metal/aluminum? roller and push it up until the epoxy has set enough to hold it's position.

When the epoxy has hardened - the peel ply - peels off and you are ready to fair out and finish.

Hope this helps.
