Repainting 87 Model 18 Guardian After Sanding Sides Many hairline cracks seeping or oozing sticky tar like stuff. Many on the sides of hull. A shop suggested cutting open the areas and cutting out the foam, refoaming and refiberglassing, OOCH. Is there an easier cheaper alternative? Is this a dangerous situation as far as the boat coming apart?

The tar like stuff is most likely uncured resin.

Its a reaction between water and fiberglass resin. We called it coca cola
