Hello sailing friends! I hope it's okay that I would like to ask your advice about a non-Laser boat here? If not, I understand if you need to remove the post!
I found this forum while searching for how to repair a separating seam, and this post in particular was extremely helpful: Hull-deck separation repair There are some folks here who really know their stuff! I just recently bought a little (11') old Luger kit boat. It's been well maintained, but the seam where the deck meets the hull is coming loose. I planned on using PaxFish's advice to dremel out the seam, rough it up and repair with epoxy + filler. However, I'm not sure about a couple things: firstly, should I clamp the parts together as the epoxy sets? Also, what filler would you guys recommend (407?) and how large a section should I do at a time?
I've attached some pictures so you can get an idea of what I'm talking about. I'm fairly handy but I've never done any boat bodywork before: any and all advice on how to go about it is very well appreciated!
the gapping on the sides of the transom where the boards should be flush and attached at the widest point is about 1/4 inch maybe a little more. I will get some good pictures later.
