[Public-List] Keel Repairs

[George Dinwiddie]

Going a little further, if you have water coming out from the keel, 
first grind or cut at the spot where the water is appearing and fill 
with plumber's epoxy putty, which will cure in water. Water will create 
pathway through regular epoxy.

Then layup some new glass, and when that kicks off, fair with Quick 
Fair. Oh, wash the cured epoxy with soap and water before continuing 
with the next layer. This removes the "amine blush" that inhibits adhesion.
