Me again. I think this can work but not using all of these strips as I did. I had to many voids then I tried to sand, so I ripped the fiberglass coaming off. That was a job. I will have to forget the coaming until I get back from my trip. I like the idea of wiping with epoxy filled with glass fibers as mentioned. I will play around with that and see if I can do it I think I will try to wipe directly to the coaming. It will be fun to try.
