Re: GT40 Australia #32 - Time for Rebuild

Peter understand what you are going through with the "vette"glass being unsealed. My main experience is with glass boats, where the gelcoat gets a chip or crack or is damaged in anyway. If not sealed ASAP moisture will travel along the glass fibers (Osmosis) and rot the hull. I have seen boats that had to be scrapped because of this problem. At the best of times it is a pain to repair.
Any hole in glass should be sealed or osmosis can result. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
