I've heard it to be much more.... 13.4- 14.87% at least!! ;-DFiberglass patch is suppose to be 12 percent bigger than the damaged area.
One half of the back side of the damage can't be reached!Fiberglass patch is suppose to be 12 percent bigger than the damaged area. It may just be cracked gelcoat. If so you can groove out the crack in the gel-coat and marine-tex
it. For those of us who don't do a lot of fiberglass work, the best way to get a repair that does not look worse then when we started is to lay up on the back-side of the damage then groove and Marine-Tex the cracked gel-coat. I get the feeling if that crack bugs you, you'll be more bugged by a rookie looking repair.
Good idea.These type of repairs are where you put the problem in your mind and let it rattle around for a few days.
L&VW,Supported by the tub, the inside edge has taken some hits. Over the years, this damage has progressed to the point that it has become a thorn in my backside..
I'll be using epoxy. That I can see, there's no alternative but to grind down into the edge of the tub, and build up several layers of fiberglass--use cloth?
Seeing that this area is likely to be damaged again, how large an area should be ground down?
