In the Spring 2004 issue of The LaserSailor, pg. 12, there's an article by Jack McVicker of Vangard Sailboats in which he discusses the repair of hull to deck joints. He describes the process of removing the cracked putty (pretty straightforward), but then finishes with, "Your local marine supply store will have putty appropriate to fill the void. Try to force the putty down into the void for a lasting repair."
Does anyone know what the "appropriate putty" is that was referred to by Jack McVicker? Is it Marine Tex? Or is it a different type of product? And are there problems with curing if you fill a deep section (such as the thick joint at the transom) all in one shot without layering?
