You seem to be bad on its cover. Would a hammer and knock to see a sketch of the repair area .. try to use the region as small as possible. Once you've done that, take a saw and the depth of no more than 1 / 4 inch first on the skin of fiberglass cut. Pull the skin into strips and you will see that the base material) (usually made of wood or foam. Unearthing the poorest. You need to get a mill or grinder (clean with a minimum of 36 sandpaper) to the surface on which the core and create the new database. Cut (a piece of the new kernel disadvantages preferably marine plywood), which is thick enough to leave enough space for about 2 layers of fiberglass mat. Take some fiberglass and resin with aerosil or Cabosil (thickening thicken) and a paste as you think thats about it, like mayonnaise. This will be your tail. Mix a bit of hardener, which is indicated on the packaging resin and a thick layer of Nice on the surface, where the old kernel. Put weight and the new piece and pressed it. I propose that we allow to stand 24 hours. After curing, take GACattle bezel and the outer edge of the hole 1 inch on all sides for a smooth surface to the glass. Your area should now be ready for glass. Cut off from the glass of a size which covers only the new wood, then a piece that covers the entire surface of the earth that you, too. You can cut a piece that is part of a large. Now mix the resin and wet the smallest and was the first core. Then the same with the next major piece of work and its outset to be built ... They want to be a part fiber as smooth as possible. Once healed, get a grinder and sand is as soft as you can get (to use Bondo panel if necessary). Now your place is is repaired and ready for the topcoat. I recommend a professional to fit your boat gelcoat finish and if you want to be perfect. But simply replacing the kernel will save much money.
** Up to now, carbon fiber, and not use their actions, such as fiberglass and are more suited to the repairs .**
