I did some relatively serious filling and repair to my F31 dagger and rudder using some thickened epoxy as well as some bondo. I covered it with Perfection after a couple layers of primer. All good until you get a nick you can't really see (taking the board out of the 31 isn't difficult, but it isn't easy either)


I've said it a thousand times Evercoat glazing putty. All the attributes of bondo except it's for boats(which of course makes it more expensive).

Jake,
Palm Sander? Really? You're getting slack, but I understand.You're the only guy I know that has 28 hour days, and must not sleep.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.
