I pulled up the forward floor on my C36 so I could probe the wood block under the mast step (shrouds out of travel) - good news no wet wood or rot!! While I had one out I decided to pull the rest (except nav station) to refinish and fix a couple of missing teak/holly patches.
Pulling the galley floor I found one piece partially delaminated and totally soaked in oil (previous to me buying).
I tried to glue back with polyester resin but oil inhibited curing despite trying 2x MEK. Oh well just bigger washers
Here are the finished panels in the house for a little warmth to assist final cure. They look a bunch better than I started with but this is definitely a job for a heated shop or summer weather.
@Will Gilmore - eat your heart out on my kids first boat (100% oak). Made it ~24 years ago and has entertained kids since. Holds 1-3 at a time. Now saving on the off chance we will be blessed with grandchildren.
