: The butt of those soft padeyes makes the glass patch over it sit about 1/8th
: inch higher than the surrounding wood. Just a touch on that bulge with an
: electric sander and coarse sandpaper will rip through the glass and a bit
: of the padeye, but completely miss the surrounding area. Poke out the old
: padeye pieces, use a small piece of medium grit sand paper to clean up any
: grunge on the inside, insert a new padeye, and slap a patch of
: epoxy-wetted fiberglass fabric over the site.

: For those who either don't like to use epoxy,or who are fans of duct tape:
: They can seal the inside with a square of the 'universal silver solution',
: and be done in a moment.

You must have a really small sander to fit inside the completed boat to do this. I can barely get my hands on those at the ends, let alone a sander.
