This evening I am going to attempt to repair the two soft spots on my 16. Each is in front of the tramp support and each has an old, 5" inspection port. I bought two new inspection hatches so the old ones are out. I noticed a lot of moisture in there so it is drying today.

I propose a different method which I will try this evening. Since the big holes are already there, I'm going to try to inject the epoxy (WEST Systems) between the layers at the port with a long piece of smashed copper. I drilled four holes in the end of the copper and didn't smash it all the way so the epoxy can flow out the ends. I'll clamp the layers together - again through the holes. I may also prop some pieces of wood inside the hull to hold up on the layer while it dries.

I'll take some pictures and post them and advise on how everything worked out. I even toyed with the idea of cramming some epoxy-wetted fiberglass between the layers, then clamping. I just don't like the idea of drilling lots of little holes in my hull. More to follow.....
