Re: Leak at traveler - minifish
开云体育?Your message has made me realize I made a leap in logic. ?When I pulled the swamped boat onto the sloped sand, water came out the traveler holes. But I didn’t see the source of the leak and assumed. ? There’s a place on the right chine I can press through. ?There is a place on the keel that gives to pressing. ?These are the big ones I found on visual/manual inspection and must be repaired before a pressure leak test would do any good, I imagine. I’m attaching pictures here and hope they come through.? The one on the keel is a terrible picture. My plan on it is thickened epoxy.? On the chine, it’s going to need some fiberglass for sure.? This is a first time epoxy project for me. I was hoping to get some smaller quantities of resin hardener and glass cloth at a big box hardware store. All they had was JB Weld and Loctite products and no glass cloth. I’ll look at Total Boat next but if there are any other ideas on getting smaller quantities I’d be much obliged.? Thank you also to Charlie for your suggestions. I’ll look specifically for your recs for thickened epoxy. But it turns out I have a ways to go before I can even get to a leak test to determine if those traveler holes are even a source.? My many thanks, -Joel On Jul 4, 2020, at 10:57 PM, Breezebender via groups.io <monicademeo@...> wrote:
