Wow, Injectadeck looks like a good product for fixing decks and maybe rudders too. The videos make it look easy. I did our deck the hard way and it took forever to follow all the steps and work around the weather. Looks like a good product to use under fuel tanks and shower floors too. https://injectadeck.com/videos/?v=34f435c6b599 Chuck S
