Make sure the interior is dry before applying the Smith Systems. Once all is cured, seal the holes, apply a little paint and go sailing. |
A word of advice on this technique. Have someone below make sure you're not drilling all the way through. A, um... friend of mine
was drilling what I thought were shallow holes, but the lack of resistance from the rotten deck felt different than normal drilling. I-um... my friend ended up with lots of
epoxy all over his seat cushions.
