Interesting thread Guts, but I don't think that is what Rob is looking for. He already used the foam and has a raised bit. I am trying to figure out a solution, but I can only think to...

1. Leave it be until it is not acceptable to leave it anymore

OR

2. Grind the gelcoat down to the glass, seal with resin and re-gel. (Yea there is a raised portion but at least we know its sealed)

OR

3. Grind out the glass that raised up, cut the foam down flush if it has raised above the original level, lay a layer of Resin saturated chopped strand mat, followed with some glass cloth, then sand, clean with acetone, then use a filler/fairing putty of your choice and then gel over that. The problem is the nonskid, but some have solved that with the Gibco Flex Mold products.

See http://www.minicraft.com/Retail/Gibco...Inst01.htm It has been discussed elsewhere. Check your PMs.
