hello, i have an old fiber glass row boat, it's just over 10ft, and has a whole load of holes drilled into the hull. i have patched two from the outside of the hull of them by putting 2-3 layers of fiber glass sheeting over the hole then slopping tons of epoxy/hardener mix over it. then i flipped the boat and did the same on the other side now i have watched all of these sorts of videos on YouTube and think that i haven't done some really important strengthening thing... any tips?
Nice job. Much nicer job than that boat merited. If the repair costs more than the boat did, something's off.
The prep is the key to a good repair and they got it exactly right here. They went overboard with the whole trimming of the fiberglass etc. The could have used four ovals a bit bigger than the repair and just sanded off the excess. The grinder would have taken off the excess in a fraction of the time it took him to mess around with it. And you wouldn't have sharpie ink in your repair.
