gelcoat repair - 2008/04/08 12:46
I'm working on a friends ASW 15 which has been sitting in a barn for 4 years. It's generally in good shape. But water got in under the left wing and popped the gel coat. The big sections are all on the bottom, I'd say there's a good 3 sqft (in 4-6 seperate patches) that nead to be filled.
Ahead of the spoiler there are some much smaller (and thinner) sections where the paint is pealing. I'd say they are no more than 1/2 sqft.
I have some areas of concern...
- I want to fill the gaps using SuperFil. It's been my filler of choice.
- Some of the underlying glass is discolored. It's got mold and turned a deeper shade of tan. Do I have glass damage?
- How critical is the top wing to variations in shape? This isn't a competition ship, just a Sunday knock about. All I care is that it doesn't fly poorly.
Check out the attached pictures, let me know your thoughts.
