Hi, I'm new to the forum but I already found some helpful info here. I couldn't find the answer I was looking for using the search function. I have a long crack in my Sunfish and am using west systems epoxy, 205 slow hardener, and a fine-weave cloth for repair. My concern is that I'd like to make the repair in one shot even though it goes along the bottom and up both sides. Is there a trick to keeping the already-wetted cloth from sagging during curing? My gut tells me that taping some peel-ply to hold it up should do the trick but my gut is not always right. (If it were I probably would never have to repair anything!). Any suggestions? Thanks,
Mike

This Sunfish forum's thread (below, in blue) should answer how to repair your fiberglass Sunfish:
If it's a structural crack, the fix is to grind or sand the existing surface to a very thin layer in the middle, tapering to about six inches wide, and cut and lay-out successive layers of cloth to make it come out flat and even. (This could be done in one shot). Then sand flat for painting.
