[Alberg30] Rudder Repair

[sousa, stephen (ENG)]

Richard,

Give MARS Epoxy a call they offer a great product at a reasonable price.
>From the various repairs that are required you will need different compounds
to mix in the resin. The rudder rebuild will take one type of product which
will not require the fairing required on the hull. They hull filling will
use a fairing compound that is softer than the gel coat and sand easily.
They will also recommend the type of cloth for various jobs. If you have any
questions please ask, I have been through this process over the summer.

My rudder on #235 has several exposed longitudinal and latitudinal wood and
metal "ribs." 
I sanded the bottom paint off which exposed gaps and cracks and in some
cases the ribs.  Suggestions on repairs to: 1. The longitudinal wooded piece
almost vertical at bottom aft of rudder is loose and wants to come out of
its slot in the glass.  Can I just repair with resin and fabric? 2. The
latitudinal ribs at top of rudder are medal and appear coated with some
plastic gray substance that wants to flake off of metal ribs.  Can I
resin/fabic those or do I need someother filler putty or bondo? 3. Should
the glass of the rudder surround the forward exposed metal edge of the
rudder up near the bottom side of the deck?
