Next message: Tom: "T&T: PH Doors"
I, like many others, cringe at the idea of cutting open the boat to get the
tank out and I would not do it in ours. BUT, it is possible to get the same
strength or even better at the reglassing. I listee used the phrase scarfing.
We call it stepping. The sides are stepped at an eighth of an inch or so, and
make a "shelf" that way. Do that untill the cut looks like an asian mountain
ricefield with the terracces. Lay one up at a time and when finished, the
whole thing gets vacu-bagged and autoclaved. You will now have a superstrong
repair. That's the way repairs are made to composite surfaces on airplanes you
ride in over great distances, and I have yet to see a repair go bad.
