What are micro ballons?? I have heard about that type of repair but no nothing about it.

Re: Skool's V20 Rebuild starts
 

Ballons are thousands of little white balls you mix in with the resin. I guess they give it strenght ???

My 140 4stroke works great on my cuddy. With light fuel and load I get 40 mph, 37 mph loaded up w/ gear, gas, people. But it turns 6000 rpm, might not get the same w/ a 2 poker.

Re: Skool's V20 Rebuild starts
 

Hmmm, I see lots of sanding!!

Re: Skool's V20 Rebuild starts
 

micro Balloons are brown usually and are little air pockets that allow you to sand resin like bondo, it actually makes the resin weaker lol but makes it very easy to sand, just makes water proof bondo lol.

Re: Skool's V20 Rebuild starts
 

Hey Skools,

When you filled in the bigger holes with wood, resin, and glass, did you put anything on the backside (like tape) in order to keep the resin from pouring through the other side through the voids?

Also, did you use any sort of filler or wood before glassin over the holes for the snaps?

Great work as always maestro ;)

Re: Skool's V20 Rebuild starts
 

taped the back side of the holes with masking and filled up with resin then glassed over larger holes and the small ones just grind out and then glass and resin over the hole and the fill with resin and micro balloons
