: How about the whole issue of delamination? Epoxy bonds the fiberglass just
: fine to the foam, but the layer delaminates when it takes a hit, the foam
: tearing away just beyond the epoxied foam layer.
Jim,
Right, see my response to Jim. I've got a '83 J/24 that I got cheap that's been sitting out for about ten years. Looks great, but I'm going to have to pull all the deck hardware and see how much water intrusion has rotted and delaminated the deck's balsa core. Then we'll see how cheap it was! The repair involves opening the underside of the deck, ripping out the rotten delaminated material and replacing it. All on your back.
