Re: Stus-List Damage to fibreglas

Polyester resin doesn’t stick too well to anything except uncured polyester
resin.

That’s why Gougeon’s recommend epoxy for fiberglass repair.  Well, that, and
they sell it, of course.

I put a hole in several layers of fibreglas about a foot above the waterline
in the side of my boat.  As it may take some time before repairs are made,
 should I seal the glass to prevent water from getting in the layup?  If
so what should I use?
