Filling and sealing voids what a MESS
April 26, 2006
Since this plywood is not perfect, we thought we should fill the voids with epoxy to strength and seal the inside. Well.. This turned into quite the MESS. First off some of the voids ran all the way through the panel so after we had poured in the epoxy it started to run out of the bottom. No problem there's always duck tape. Well the duck tape wouldn't hold it. We tried clamping a board on the edge and that leaked as well. We finally mixed up some filler quite hot so it would set in a minute of two, and we plugged the holes on the bottom. We had left the two panels tacked together because we had been doing test fittings and soon realized that if we didn't take them apart we wouldn't be laminating them later.

Its good that we took them apart. The next morning we found that the epoxy has oozed out of the side of the panels where several voids where and this would have 'poxied the panels together permanently.. We would now suggest that you hold off filling voids until you have both panels laminated together and if your transom repair is open on the top, hold off on filling voids until after you put the wood in the boat..
