Hi Trevor,

I've been a bit slack but have progressed. I seem to have fixed that problem on the inside near the front beam where the tramp had pulled the ply away a bit. It don't think it was too serious as none of the epoxy came through to the inside when I injected it. I found a cheap large clamp at Bunnings that was big enough to negate the curve of the deck and it seems to have done the job.

As for the big job! I had some practice goes with varying mixtures of epoxy on some scraps so I could get the feel of things, and have now taped in the foam around the case that was loose. I had a bit of trouble getting a nice straight edge on the hole without cutting into the stringers but have now got it pretty neat.

Getting the frame from the bodgy repair out was a bugger of a job with all that bog.

I'll do a bit more this weekend but next weekend I am kid free so I plan to get a fair bit completed.

I've got my timber for the new stingers and frames but still await the arival of my 3mm ply.

I'll post some more photos after the big weekends work.

Cheers,

Simon
