I’ve got a soft spot about 10 inches in diameter, just aft of the starboard hand rail. Has anyone on here replaced the coach roof core on this vintage of a Hunter? What did you find and what did you replace the old core with? Thank you.
This is super helpful. I’m hoping the soft spot turns out to be about the size I’m predicting it is and not a bigger mess. But, I’ll be follow your YouTube videos along the way and posting to this thread once I get started.I used end grain balsa, cut on a band saw to 1/2'' to 5/8' thick...clean and dry area.,,use west systems epoxy,, get the pumps, makes it easier to mix,,and the powder filler,,,,,stagger the pattern as you go along,, I mixed at a 12 pump of each mixture and got as far as the one photo attached...you don't want to mix up too much at at time it sets up fast when ever it decides lol ......
I put down alignment marks to make sure the mast step panel got back into original position
I have some short clips of my work on my u tube channel g daDamos
I think he means cutting from the bottom...”but yet someone decides to fight gravity”.Brokenarm - please explain why the method cited is "totally wrong".
