I noticed leaks around our pump while on the hard last fall so I went ahead, pulled the pump, dug out the wet core and filled it. Or rather I should say my wife, who's really good with the epoxy filled it. We were both concerned about getting a good fill, so she mixed up a peanut butter batch and filled the core and then dammed the bottom and filled the whole hole up with a liquid batch. I recut out the hole with a hole saw and drilled out the mounting holes mounted the pump up. It's best to make a template for the drilling from some plywood scrap using the pump as a pattern. Seems to be pretty solid now. One thing I learned, wet balsa is scooped out by a finger! Dry balsa comes out with a screwdriver! Don't scrap out more than you have to. |
