Re: Deck coating / Turned complete restore
Keep in mind a couple of things when it comes to air bubbles...
1- You are going to be putting a lot better construction techniques than the factory and they managed to have it last this long...
2- You will be putting a lot of blood, sweat, tears and cash into this boat and are probably going to take MUCH better care of it than it ever had before...one way will be to make sure it is put away nice and dry and covered, with the drain plug removed and the nose held high, after each fun filled excursion...
3- The main concern as I have learned with air bubbles in the fiberglass are two fold...IF they are huge, which yours are NOT...it could compromise some of the strength...AND...since nothing is really waterproof, except maybe sea creatures...IF the fiberglass remains submerged for looooong periods of time, water may eventually find its way into the bubbles and then into the wood...in which case you should refer to 1 & 2 above...
I think you have done an outstanding job installing the transom and the rest of the build will be just as good or better!
Ok so I am moving on from the transom. this is the side boards that hold up the deck structure and the sides of the deck. I am obviously going to cut new ones then my plan is to coat them in resin csm pb them in on the side next to the gunwales I do not think I can tab them in would coating them with pb be sufficient originals had nothing
I was wondering wog told me how to fix these grind thrus in my hull. Since they are so close to the bulkheads for my full tank. That i will be using pb to set the bulk heads and 2 tabbing s will that be enough to repair. Or should I repair first then go on as usual
