MORG seam ?'s

[VD CRUISER]

Billy B, are you saying grind back about 2" on either side of the seam just deep enough to fill in with 2 or 3 layers of glass and "V" the actual gap so it can be filled up to the ground surfaces, with Cabisil, before glassing over the whole 4" wide area ? Is any more reinforcement required on the inside ?

If not then you would have to glass the inside also. Good luck and if you need anything else let me know.

OK GETTING THE CABOSIL WAS A TASK IN ITSELF BUT I GOT IT.
ALSO GOT YARDS AND YARDS OF TAPE A SHIT LOAD OF RESIN AND GROUND ALL THE WAY TO THE GLASS ABOUT HOW DEEP SHOULD I GRIND INTO THE GLASS AND WHAT LENGTH STRIPS SHOULD I CUT OF TAPE AND WHAT IS THE MIX RATIO OF THE CABOSIL IT SAYS TO MIX TO DESIRED THICKNESS THATS IT.
AND IM STILL PUNCHING OUT ALL THE DAMN RIVETS I WAS ALSO TOLD TO CHAMFER THE RIVET HOLES TO HOLD THE CABOSIL & RESIN BETTER.
SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA BUT I DONT KNOW IF IT IS WORTH IT.
THANKS .
