Mac can ya tell how deep the gap between outter and inner hull?...seems to me, if you glass over a void, it'll just recrack sooner or later...fill the gap w/ something...I'd think pourin' it up w/Seacast would do it...but don't leave it open and just glass over... :D ...

Have any of you used Bondo to fill in voids ?? Then glass over that ?? A friend told me that yesterday and i find that hard to believe. He said Marine Tex and Bondo are identical except Marine Tex has fibers in it to make it a little stronger. Any truth ?? Didnt mean to derail this thread.

Parrot the guy at our fiberglass shop said you can use Bondo to fill. *At work we have a composite dept, the guy there recomended using the epoxy resin with chopped fiber glass fiber for a little more strength along with the hardener. *The strength here comes from the resin and matting, right Stinky, Skools? *

Reel there was not too big of an unfilled gap, only a crack. *Wellcraft either put a bed of filler down before setting the liner in or they reely pushed the filler way back in there. *

I've added more photo to the very first post to show the steps I'm taking. * Billy Mac *;D

these guys are doing bondo on all the seams in the plywood and nail holes,,,,, take note that all this plywood is pre coated with a fiberglass resin before its laid and theses guys get about 10 to 12 dollars a square foot to do this...... this house had about 25,000.00 dollars worth of glass work done.
