I have not done this, but ShipShape TV used a two part foam to fill a void in a fiberglass hard top. Obviously you have to make sure the foam does not squeeze the deck apart. The drawback to this method is a two quart supply costs $80 at West Marine, which makes two cubic feet of foam. (Everclear brand). I found a reference to a $25 product at jamestowndistributors.com but they only list a $75 two gallon product - "Dura-Cote". Has anyone used a foam? steve Steve R.

I repaired the centerboard problem on my M15, and have now had two great sails. Thanks for the advice from this group. Now how about repairing holes in the deck - I have epoxy and several fillers. Should I use some sort of backing underneath the holes, and fill with thickened epoxy? Will the thickened epoxy not sag without any backing? Thanks, Jon

Is this anything like the DAP insulating foam you can find in cans at any hardware store? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve R." <stever@mail.saabnet.com> To: "For and about Montgomery Sailboats" <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2003 9:54 AM Subject: Deck hole repairs I have not done this, but ShipShape TV used a two part foam to fill a void in a fiberglass hard top.
