Boat Forum / Building / August 2003Epoxy or Poly resin?
Hi, I need to plug a hole in the transom of my boat (used to be the outlet of the furnace - about 2" diameter). I was going to use a plywood plug epoxied in, but realized I wouldn't be able to use gelcoat to match the existing finish, because it wouldn't stick to the epoxy (correct?) Should I use poly resin instead? Any other ideas? or will the gelcoat stick to the epoxy? Lloyd Lloyd, Gelcoat will stick to epoxy as long as you rough it up first. Plug the hole with the plywood which has been primed with epoxy, epoxy it over and let dry. Sand with 80 grit then 120 and apply gelcoat with peel-ply over it (or saran wrap). This will make final sanding much easier. MTCW... Charles |
