Wet Core Repair
I''m in the same ''boat'' regarding inside delam repairs, but have a twist:
In the worst sections the core is soaked with a disgusting, smelly oil/fuel/water mixture. It appears that the oil/fuel has seeped into the fiber of the outer skin. Outside the hull skin is barrier coated and painted with a teflon paint (VC Offshore).
I''m concerned that de-greasing the inside surface of the outer skin will be next to impossible and am considering laying up an additional skin on top of the oil-affected area. Then I would bond coring material, then the new inner skin.
This would add perhaps another 1/8 in to the starboard side under the engine bed, which could be balanced on the port side.
Can anyone suggest other ideas?
Thanks in advance.
