This is the place to post your ideas, thoughts, questions and comments as relates to general boatbuilding and reconstruction techniques and procedures (i.e. recoring, epoxy, fiberglass, wood, etc.)
This question is to those of you that have re-cored from the outside and re-used the outside skins. Are the outside skin bleeder holes glassed over or just filled with epoxy. If they are only epoxy filled, is there an issue with cracking or telegraphing over time with heavy use? Thanks!
