Just an update on my plywood repair. After studying everything on the repair shelf at West Marine I finally went with West System GL/Flex Epoxy, which comes in two four-ounce squirt-tipped bottles. Very easy to work with. You can mix as much or little as you need on plastic or waxed paper, and it gives you at least 45 minutes working time (important to me, since I tend to choke under pressure). I gently eased the plies apart one by one with the tip of a screwdriver until I could just get the thin end of a toothpick in. Got as much epoxy as deep as I could in with the toothpick, then sqeezed out the excess by slowly tightening clamps buffered by wood blocks. The GL/Flex dries clear with a slight yellow tinge. Unclamped after a day or so and the corner looked like new (well, almost like new - needs some sanding). Thanks to all for the help, Rick M-17 Lynne L ************** A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!
