I have discovered that the balsa core between the fibreglass around the fore hatch is completely rotten due to water ingress and needs to be replaced. I would like to replace this with polyethylene closed cell foam sheet (at least i think thats what it is called, swimming pool floats anyway).
Can anyone tell me what density to use in order to give the correct stiffness but bendable enough to mould to the deck curves.
I intend to carry out the repair from the underside within the cabin since there is no foof lining and will avoid spoiling the deck topside. However all the fibreglass repair books I have read talk about effecting the repair from above. I assume that this is because it is easier to work downwards from an access point of view and also to avoid fumes. CAN ANYONE ADVISE ?
