Well, yesterday I bought my West Systems 105 resin, 206 slow hardener and the pump kit. I already had some 404 high density filler, I don't remember what I had that from. I first repaired the steps, routing back the rotten wood to good wood. I used an electric drill to drill a 3/8" holes from the side into the wood between the fiberglass and cleaned it all out with my Dremel. I should have taken a picture of this but I didn't. Then I mixed my West Systems stuff to "peanut butter" and used a little plastic putty knife to press it in and smooth it. I will take a picture of this before it goes back in.
There are 10 screw holes for the new hatch. I can see it would be very difficult to route out the entire area all the way around the cutout area with this technique and I would be back to LFS for another $150 worth of supplies but I think I can route back to (past) the pilot hole using the same technique. Bob, would that be sufficient? _________________
