Installment 35 of Classic Mako Blog
We have a hole to fill. Well, ok, actually a bunch, but let's talk gunwales here. This pic shows the cut made to re-core transom. Three layers of cloth now cover that exposed core, but the gap on the rail is still there. Time to fix that.
We ground a wide bevel around the bonding area.
Might as well grind out this crushed fiberglass on the corner edge and glass that too.
We came up with this high tech mold for extending the splash rail shape ...
High tech cellophane wrap for mold release
Quadraxial cloth wet out with epoxy makes for quick bulk build-up.
All cured, we're satisfied with the rough shape of this first layer. Several more layers, each successively wider, will finish this repair.
