The Importance of a Leak Test
This Scorpion (Sunfish clone) looks great and shows no evidence of damage, but after a leak test (I used an air compressor designed for blowing up an inflatable mattress) I found six areas- all under the aluminum trim- that were bubblin’ away. I guess the good news is the daggerboard trunk and mast step are air tight! I will drill out all the rivets, remove the trim and put in for a new order of Flexpoxy.
