Default Re: Leaky Hull!!

Glassing it sound alright, can I just use resin and hardner in the crack or do I need to "dig out" the crack and refill with fiberglass?
Then i will put her in the water, if no water i will paint, but if it doesnt' help, I will follow Willys check list, then a last resort, fill her up...
Nothin easy, all I want todo is Fish? ;D
THnaks!!

You need to grind all the gel coat off 3" all the way around the crack.
Then glass come cloth on a inch bigger then the crack, then a 2nd cloth a inch bigger, and then a third cloth a inch bigger, sand smooth and all set, top coat the way you want.
