More woes (eek) - screws pulling loose in cockpit

Agree with Centerisland--I suggest gogles and respirator, or at least a mask, as well as a tyvex suit when cutting glass or doing a lot of glass work.

I won't repeat the post I made in the other thread about epoxy--but I do use West--you have to have the pumps (cheap) and mix well before adding the filler. I usually use 50% cabosil for thickening and medium density filler, (I mix high and low density 1/1). Never use Bondo or simlar filler for filling the holes--or for any use where it will be imersed in water. As I noted, Marine Tex makes a good product for filling the holes--and is much easier to use.

I am currently doing a project, replacing some of the plywood floor of my RV--this involves both plywood, various types of glass and different density fillers, depending where the repair is, and how it will be finished. There is no one answer for all types of repairs.

I got a voice message from SportCraft Marina this weekend while I was outside on the business end of a chainsaw and splitting maul. Don't let anyone tell you that cutting up big hemlock trees is good for you.

For the update. SportCraft/CDory will fix the bulging fuel cell and plulled screw problem on warranty. They are going to use the new fascia boards that go all the way to the top of the splash well. The boat should be done later this coming week. A big thanks to Ryan and Tim at SportCraft!!!!
