No.? It didn't occur?to me.? I thought epoxy alone would be a good patch.
Is there a spray on something that would be good enough on top of sanded epoxy?? Or something like that?? Maybe some paint?

Did you try gelcoat over your patches? On Wednesday, September 2, 2020, 9:42 AM, Joel Grist <TruckLawyer@...> wrote: I want to thank you all for your advice and help.? In particular, "Clark and Skipper" - your tutorial on a blind patch really did the trick for me.
My goal is to get the craft sailing again - not to look the best (yet).? So I cleaned off the bottom - and found the patch I sanded was letting water in and out.? Now I could have done a better job and plan to fill in with thickened epoxy.? But I am wondering now if sanded epoxy takes on water?? If so, I need to seal these patches once I sand them down.? Can anyone recommend a water - tight spray primer???
I may?paint the whole bottom later.? But in the meantime, summer won't last forever and I'd like to sail him (yes, I know boats are usually named for women, but my daughter christened this one "Alan" - I don't know why).
-Joel Put a blind patch inside the hole and let it dry. Then build layers of fiberglass cloth up on the patch, fair, sand, paint (or gelcoat)
