I had a delamination around the mast and cut it open this morning. I have two questions:
- I removed all of the wet balsa and now have a 3 in. lip around the mast hole. I need the 3 in. lip to feather in the repair. Any hints on how to slide the balsa in and make sure there are no voids, while avoiding any overheated epoxy issues?
- Aft of the mast is a hatch. I would like to pull the hinges and re-bed them while I am doing all of this. Does anyone know if Morgan bedded threaded plates or nuts under the deck (nothing visible down below)? Haven't gotten up the nerve yet to pull the screws to see what happens.
