thin fiberglass

Postby superdan » Thu Apr 10, 2008 11:48 pm

with my DS II on it's side while I was replacing the CB pivot bolt I noticed light coming through three tiny spots in the hull to the port of the CB trunk. When touched it did not seem to be a hole but the hull is obviously thin there and some scratches on the outside appear to coincide with the light source. Any ideas how to strengthen and repair the thin spots? I'd appreciate any input. Fair Winds

I'm not the expert. but if you can get to the inside area, I would put a layer or two of glass cloth to thicken and strengthen the area.
