Hey everyone, on Saturday (31 July) I will start a larger project trying to refurbish a very old Laser (pictures attached) - Biggest issue is the damaged bow but I also need to fix the hull/deck joint and do some gelcoat repairs on the deck.
For the bow, the plan is to sand off the gel and recess the glass fibre to create a big fringe around the bow damage (ca. 8 cm wide) so that the glass fibre can adhere to it. My plan is to take a cardboard mold from a friend's Laser, place it behind the bow to form the new shape so that the glass fibre has something to form against whilst it's curing. Not sure how this will plan out in practice. Does anyone else have any suggestions or recommendations?
