[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 418662, member: 15636"] Great question! But I highly doubt it ... None of the 'porosity' appeared clean through and none of it is anywhere near a rivet or chine or any other structural feature. I also put a high-powered LED work lamp into the forward bilge access hole above the areas - at night - and couldn't see anything shining through. Believe me ... we'll be keeping a good eye on the area! But for it to have taken 20-years to do that, I'm really confident in the flexible G-Flex epoxy being the right choice. Steel-Flex or that Coat-It others here are using would probably work too, but just in case of any hull deflection, we opted for the superior flexibility properties of the G-Flex epoxy. In a few years I'll report back just how well the repairs (1) sticks to the hull and (2) is working and/or wearing. [/QUOTE]
