So for $200 I am going to try some more advanced fiberglass work. I just took a look at this sunfish and it is a 2004 with the rolled fiberglass lip. It took some kind of side impact and about 8-10" on either side the hull seam has separated some.
I am sort of new to fiberglass, but have a good idea after watching videos. I also can do metal work for car restoration.
I am thinking grind all the 'repair' work off. See what is under it and grind it down to a feather. Make some sort of a backing then layer up a repair.
My real question is what to do with hull to deck seam that is separated. My quick look found the glue to be some sort of white stuff. I believe I will need to grind it out some then re-glue it just in that area. Lots of spring clamps later.
What should be used to glue the top to the bottom?
