Hi, I got this Buccaneer 18 dinghy to fix up. The biggest issue is a small leak from around centerboard box which has a small crack, probably from hard grounding. PO made a real mess there, trying to fix it with stuff like liquid nails, silicone caulk, and Lord knows what else. How do I prepare this surface so that the fiberglass repair holds, stops the leak, and is solid? It is somewhat of a tight spot, where one needs a contortionist midget to work comfortably. I can lay down and clean/scrape this area with a wood file to get to solid fiberglass. But then what would you recommend? Acetone cleaning? Some special fiberglass?
