All,
Much has been written about the problem of wet balsa when and if it
happens and I have seen many methods better and worse for deck repairs.
What I have not seen are examples of how people have gone about
repairing wet cored areas of the hull. Any pointers other than "forget
about it" would be appreciated.

Yes that old foam is crap. The new Coosa

<https://coosacomposites.com/the-coosa-advantage/> and equivalents do
not soak up water and are put together under tons of pressure.

Typo
Water migrates slowly through end-grain balsa but really tears foam up

Great info and research; so, how did balsa go from "wonder" material to;
"bad stuff don't touch..."?
