[Public-list] Atomic four intake seacock location

[Don Campbell]

Rachel;
When you "fill in the others" make sure you do it properly and use a fix 
as suggested by Gougeon's, with a big cone ground out on the outside and 
several layers of glass to equalize and spread the pressures. This is 
not just a simple fix as the adherence of new materials to old is always 
something that is paramount. Just filling in the hole is not sufficient 
surface area bonding to seal the deal as a failure will just pop out the 
plug. Then you will really need to get to that hole with a plug to stop 
the pond from filling and sinking the boat.
