In Response To: Filling the port & starboard seams (pic) (Gary, Santana 2023, Milwaukee)

I guess you can consider it a (kind of) before and after pic then. The first was chipping out that OEM sealer. To much of it there, not even visible in some areas, seam open to water ingression. I see these seams as the (probable) largest contributer to the water leaking into the aft air chamber. Once up in this seam, the water can move fore and aft, literally by-passing the sealed fore and aft bulkhead seals/glass/what-have-you.

Hey, Bob. Well, easy to 'jump' on the epoxy/glass, but -- Gary, Santana 2023A, Milwaukee -- 5/23/08 7:41a.m.

Maybe?? -- Bob Frak -- 5/23/08 11:51a.m.

What you see on the trunk is the rigit hard putty -- Seth Dabney, 2023-C, Oxford, MS -- 5/22/08 3:21p.m.

Ah, understood. -- Gary, Santana 2023A, Milwaukee -- 5/23/08 7:56a.m.

I was told on the main board to epoxy the screws in. -- Todd-2023C-SFBay -- 5/24/08 8:18p.m.

Don't be so sure, Todd. Not as easy as 'they' make it sound. -- Gary, Santana 2023, Milwaukee -- 5/25/08 7:57p.m.

Nothing of major interest here. -- Gary, Santana 2023, Milwaukee -- 5/17/08 4:09p.m.

Awesome job -- Liv, CS22, Karma 22, Ottawa River -- 5/18/08 5:32a.m.

Liv, don't be offering my services out (unless it's a hot friend of yours) -- Gary, Santana 2023, Milwaukee -- 5/18/08 2:13p.m.

Are you going to glass the underside of the edge outs? -- Seth Dabney, 2023-C, Oxford, MS -- 5/18/08 12:34p.m.

If I understand you, Seth, maybe this will clear it up? -- Gary, Santana 2023, Milwaukee -- 5/18/08 2:26p.m.

Seth, after a little sleep, here's the better answer! -- Gary, Santana 2023A, Milwaukee -- 5/19/08 6:23a.m.
