Hi all,
I originally put this question on the PBO forum but the suggestion was I may have better luck on the MOBO forum!
Can anyone advise what the hull to deck filler / sealant is in the attached photograph please?
As part of my winter project I intend to replace the rubbing strake and also replace the hull filler / sealant. It is badly cracked as can be seen and coming away in places. I don’t think its structural but I may be mistaken!
It doesn’t feel like cured sealant but hard, similar to painted cork; although I may be mistaken because of the age.
Is there a modern equivalent?
Should I remove the whole lot and start again or should I just scrape out the broken pieces and make good with a modern sealant?
The boat is an old Fairline Targa 27 any advice would be appreciated, I understand a small gap needs to be left at the ends to let any water escape but hopefully this could be confirmed.
Many thanks in anticipation.
