I'm fixing up an older Laser that has some damage to the deck in various places along the gunwales. It seems that some impacts have broken the top surface of the deck, whatever it is made of, revealing some other core material. My question is, what should I do in these places where the top hard shell has broken?
I have used a file to clear away the broken material. Most of the places are quite small, but a couple are nearly a square inch. For the smaller ones, I thought I would paint over them with a couple of coats of epoxy, and then paint with a one-part poly-urethane paint. For the larger areas, I thought I would apply epoxy and some fiberglass cloth, and then paint.
Thoughts?
