Center floor panel repair

[C YENSEN]

lookin good, wanna fix mine?

I have noticed that mine is starting to get a little soft also....what is the next step after sanding down...I've seen a few other threads where they have cut a board to fit on the bottom of hatch and then glassed over that....I have no experience with glassing so hoping there is another option.

get some epoxy resin and thicken it up with cabosil then spread the paste between the3 new wood and the glass panel and then put alot of clamps over the woods or a couple hundred pounds on top, then let it cure and then glass on top with regular polyester resin and probabaly two layers of chopped mat.

close but do not use chopped

use 1 layer of 10 oz cloth only. chopped doesn't give strength like cloth or better if you want to spend it us bi axle mat cloth. but just use 10 oz or heavier cloth. 1 layer

here's the one i fixed from my 21 project













you don't have to do this but i didn't want my floor hole above floor as a toe stumper so i made it counter sunk and level to be easier on the feet.







here it was when boat was finished
