Hi Danny, The deck repair you describe sounds very weak since they omitted some very important steps. Slapping the old deck skin down without doing the proper bonding will last for a while, but it does not reproduce the strength of the original deck and will very likely open up after some foot traffic flexes the deck a little.
You need to grind a 12:1 bevel around the joint to bond the skins back together. The bevel gets "over filled" with layers of glass cloth. That gets ground flush and then fairing and sanding and fairing and sanding and fairing and sanding and finally the painting steps, with sanding between coats, to protect the epoxy from UVs. As the fiberglass guy told me, "There are many steps and you can't skip a step."
