    Larry,

    I'm not doing any blister repairs, I've just got a question on the scarf
    ratio.

    You say:

    > Then get a grinder and grind
    > away the surface of each blister with 36 grit paper until you are down to
    > intact
    > fiberglass. Be carefull, don't grind through the hull.

    When I specify scarf structural repairs to CFRP, I use a 30:1 taper ratio.
    Is there a reccomended ratio for blister repairs?

    You say:

    > Cut a number of discs out of 10 oz. fiberglass cloth in varying
    > sizes ranging from the diameter of the largest blisters, decreasing in
    > size by
    > half inch increments. Now for the real work.

    Are you saying leave a 1/2" overlap per ply?

    Just a few questions from a wooden boat owner.
