My SV rebuild

[bmaxx]

I have totally striped down the hull and started to sand in preparation for a small repair and most importantly to get rid of the red. When I started to sand the bottom I noticed a couple of pin holes, and I do not even know where to start to fix. Can some one point me in the right direction... Thanks

I used Z-poxy to repair a large hole in mine and it worked fine so I am sure it will work fine for the small holes as well. I hit the fountain in the middle of my lake and crushed the front of the boat.

I mixed up some zpoxy and just poured it into the boat and hung it up so the epoxy would get into the holes. I taped it up from the out side to prevent a mess on the out side and it worked pretty good. After it dried a day I repeated it twice to make sure all the holes were plugged.

Next I sanded the out side and painted!

Sounds easy.

I will update with my progression, and I am sure I will have allot more questions as I go.

Thanks

I want to do the same. Once cured how hard is zpoxy to sand?

[badag98]

Not too hard, i have one of the little hand sanders and it worked perfect!

I finally got a chance to get back to the boat today. I brushed in some Z poxy finishing resin into the holes, and it seems to have done the trick. Now I am starting to get ready to cut the CF pieces, but more ?????? Are you supposed to put a strip of glue where you want to cut? I cut one smaller piece out, and the cf is fraying apart.

I have tried the search function on how the lay CF but I have been unsuccessful

i used painters tape (blue tape light tach) and just layed it where i was going to cut and worked out ok..

It's good to do that and then use some 3M #77 adhesive to hold it in the hull then remove tape and add resin.

Thanks guys

It will be ok to lay the cf and then add the resin on top??

i had to repair my sv and i used zpoxy for some repairs and i found it not very friendly to sanding.... i used Bondo-short strand, then light Bondo to finish it off and it was very user friendly!! and much easier to work with!!

Thats the way to do it take your time and don't rush it and it will turn out great

i think it may be ok to do that but its mixed thought on how to lay it up as far as i know, i put resion down and the laded my glass then resion on top of that but thats just how i did it.

Bottom & top for me as well!

[wizard122]

The 3M #77 Is a lite tack just to hold in place makes it alot less messy its the resin that does all the work
