so my sv is now pretty banged up.. hit a buoy wide open last night - not a direct nose hit, but smashed the starboard side pretty good... another crack, this time a major one... so tonight i started to strip the thing... i ve read here about zpoxy for the insides.. is this a product name ?? i searched around today at home depot but couldn t find any product name 'zpoxy'... also i need to re-do the port and starboard side of the thing - the outside since shes cracked pretty much down the lenght of both sides.. i sanded her for a good while and got the clear coat off of the paint... i m still a long way from hitting bear glass tho... in the past i ve had a ton of experience with fibreglass (surfboards) but i was wondering about this beast... i m thinking about laying up a light layer of cloth on both sides, sanding it back and then brushing on a light coat of resin... does this sound like it ll work ??
if anyone could give me some pointers to help me bring this beats back to life then i d be stoked... including where i could purchase the crap i need... when shes done i plan on hitting it with an airbrush that my wife has had laying around for the last 15 years :)... thats another story... i ll post some pictures of the beast when shes done... i might even snap a couple of the damage tomorrow and post here to check out repair suggestions..
enjoy ya weekend
cheers
