Happy weekend all,
I am going to start re-bedding some hardware on our boat. I’m going with
butyl tape, but wanted to see what folks were using for “filling and
drilling” holes in the deck/core with epoxy, etc. Is *Git Rot* appropriate
for this job? I am looking for something easy to work with
I basically follow the article on PBase to the
letter...http://www.pbase.com/mainecruising/rebedding_hardware

Kevin,
I'd use West Six/10 epoxy cartridges. Easy to work with and no waste
except for what is left in the tip. Buy lots of tips if you are doing it
over several weeks. I don't know if GitRot is strong enough.

Joel,
+1 on the West Six/10 thickened epoxy, and the PBase info.
I changed 4 cowl vents last weekend. One of them had been leaking for years
apparently, so the core was wet. Very wet.
I was able to scoop out the softened wood with a finger and screwdriver,
dried it with everything from paper

Kevin,
I keep this in my maintenance file. I just copy and paste to emails. I
just overbored and filled my cockpit coaming for some new winches using the
method below.
Here's the soup to nuts way to best protect your boat if the penetration is
through cored deck. If it's not cored, just do
I re bedded the majority of my deck hardware with butyl tape 5 years ago and
I'm very pleased with the results. I drilled and filled as required and used
the thinnest butyl I could find. So far no problems other than a slight
tightening of the hardware over time. This is not a maintenance

This past winter, I pulled my sanitation pump out fitting and found some
significant rot. Dug it out and used Smiths clear penetrating epoxy to
seal and fix the open wood grain. They recommend rewetting frequently over
the course of a few days to a week. After it was curred I used west system
Thanks everybody. Great information as usual.

The epoxy cartridges are nice and easy to use, but to do the job right
