Subject: Filling Deck Holes
Info: (21046 views) Posted: Saturday 4-2-16 03:28:52 AM
Thanks everyone for the great input and suggestions. This timely for me as well as I am filling holes as well.

My question is how do you inject the vinyl ester in from the bottom? Easy to understand the tubes and placing in the oversize hole but do you let it dry and then fill in around or do you even fill it in? Is it possible for a scanned hand sketch?

Thanks!

:: A. I had no idea that epoxy shrinks...I thought only

:: B. The G-10 also makes great sense for compression.

:: My big problem is that I still need to figure out what

:: ::
:: :: Taped on wax paper under the hole? Wait until epoxy is a

:: :: I'd love to not have to learn this one the hard way ;-)
