    Laser Cockpit deck repair...soft areas and cracks - Anybody done this?

    Are you saying the fiberglass has delaminated from the foam core or that possibly the foam core has deteriorated for whatever reasons and is the reason for the gap? Also, the core is not plywood it is foam? I was assuming it was plywood. In either case a gap exists so your solution is to...

    Laser Cockpit deck repair...soft areas and cracks - Anybody done this?

    To answer your question the fiberglass itself does appear to be cracked as well as just gelcoat on the non-skid.

    Laser Cockpit deck repair...soft areas and cracks - Anybody done this?

    I recently purchased what I believe is an 89' Laser (SN PSBD7062F989). Other than the usual nicks and spider cracks here and there, it seems to be in good shape except for the cockpit deck. The previous owner attempted a repair with one layer of fiberglass and what appears to be red epoxy...
