Has anyone thought about or tried pressurizing the hull to push the inner layer of glass and foam back outward against the outer layer???

Pressure?

Sounds interesting. May push resin out though.

My thoughts were to do the usual "drill and fill", tape off the holes and seal the vents, and then add a few pounds of pressure to the hulls while the epoxy sets. I may try it if I can find some delaminated hulls to experiment with. I looked at a boat today that would be a good candidate, but unfortunately the owner wanted too much money for her.
