[Public-list] Fillers

[sousa, stephen (ENG)]

Lincoln,

MAS Epoxy is also a good product and Jamestown carries this product. There
is a filler named Cabosil which is extremely strong but very difficult to
sand once hardened. I would recommend calling Jamestown and ask for the
number of MAS Epoxy in NJ. There chief engineer is a great guy and will
guide you in the right direction. The other thing I like about MAS it does
not blush like West Systems if you plan on painting the surface.

Austin,
I had the good fortune of only needing to fill one good size chunk that
ripped off - the Rudder.  I've never worked with marine fillers.  You can
buy West System fillers when working with west epoxy. I will use the west
404 filler (there strongest filler) to fill the oversized bolts holes in the
rudder then tap/thread the cured epoxy/filler.  West recommends a certain
type of filler if fairing is involved - but sounds like the patch is small
area - so maybe going with the stronger stuff (404) that is harder to fair
is not an issue. www.Jamestowndistributors.com has snippets of info on each
of the west fillers. 

Btw the maintenance manual has some very good info on the rudder and if you
need any help tracking down hardware give a shout.
