Thanks to Scott, Lance,Jeff, and Mike for sharing the make-up of the deck, also I talked to Brian Torresson at Torresson Marine. He kept a mould of the mast partner on a repair so may be a source for this on boats where manufacturing the "hole" is needed. So I understand that there is an aluminum and "Mystery metal layered" plate poorly glassed into the area. Seems like need to replace the whole plate per Mike would depend on corrosion of that plate itself. So some questions yet remain?
After mast removal and examination of the hole (and mould making as needed) you need to remove glass to discover the extent of damage to the plate. Is it best to start from the bottom or the top? Is the plate more toward the surface facilitating going at it from the top? Sounds like Mike did? Sounds like Lance and Jeff went up from the bottom? Any advantage to either?
If plate is shot Torresson recommended glassing in pre fabricated fiberglass plate. They recommended replacing all metal to prevent the delam from returning, period. However MIke how much extra work did this look like to you and any problems, since you didn't? Also for those who who went one way and then the other in your repair
how did you lay up from the bottom before doing demolition from the top? What did you glass to?
Then how did you keep from adhering to the upper layers you wanted to remove? |
