Operation "Hatch Repair" underway

Here it is without the weight


Uh-oh, we got a problem >:(

It may be hard to see, but there is NO BOND where I have that piece of wood sticking in. It goes all the way to the outside edge and for and aft at least 18". I mixed up a hot batch of resin and dumped it in the hole, then set some weight on it.


I dunno what happened exactly, but it looks like I just didn't have enough of the sticky stuff on there and the wood soaked up some. Well, I'm on hold until this sets up, but I am going to end up with some unbonded "pockets". I'll just get her sealed up the best I can and hope she makes it 4 or 5 years. More to come tomorrow.
