Delaminated Rudder
My ''73 has a delamination spot on the rudder about the size of my hand. There was some water weeping out of the area and tapping the area gave a hollow sound. I plan to drill a couple of holes to see what the rudder''s core is. If it is solid glass (unlikely) I am tempted to first inject acetone in order to get rid of the moisture, and then inject some type of West epoxy. Assuming it is cored is it better to cut the top layers of glass with a dremel or something, or should I just start grinding? I figure on doing this now so that if the core can be dried it will have all winter.
If this seems like the wrong approach and some knowledgeable individual can help, I would appreciate it.
