Well, I tried to fill a void on my 13' sport with foam and injected a little too much. (I have since learned this is a big NO NO) The deck started to bow and what little water was in there started getting forced out holes I drilled and micro holes I didn't drill and you can't even see. I'm not sure if I caused more delamination and stressed the deck. I'm not sure if these tiny holes were there before I made this mistake. The area is maybe 4"x8 or 9" and isn't really noticeable until you stand on it. Should I leave it alone or cut the deck and remove the foam?

The water in the center and top is from the hole where the foam residue is. The water towards the left was forced through the deck.
