I have done deck repairs before, but this one's a bit different. Estimating 1980 vintage hull. An area approximately 3' long by 1' high is soft, directly outboard of the daggerboard slot. From inside there is a layer of fabric hanging like a curtain, not glued to the fiberglass wall (!) No stiffness in the delammed fabric. Hull is relatively stiff outside, but not comparable to original or rest of hull.
I was thinking of injecting epoxy through the fabric and rolling it in to saturate. Hull can be positioned on its side so epoxy will flow flat out over the repair rather than drip down while drying.
I suspect someone mighty say, no you need to cut it all out and add saturated fiberglass cloth layers... which I'd rather not do.
Any one else have experience to share? ?
