Finn:

The boat is a1974 (35yrs) and I will clear some of your questions. It is on the nonskid deck area of the transom well. If I have some modest expanson of sealing material above the surface I have the means to smooth it out. Next even though the craft is in very nice shape for its age it is going to be a driver not a show boat. There is no plywood under the area being sealed and when finished the battery box will be straped in place over it. Main focus here, keep water from entering foam core and reasonable color blend.

My idea of using newspaper rolled and stuffed in the holes is working nicely to wick fluid out. Next went to the compound shelf and found some Gorilla Glue (white drying) and started a quick test format on scrap plywood. One drop directely to dry wood. One drop to wood that had a drop of water placed down first. One drop to a area with a gas water mix placed on the wood. At about 18 hours cure time now the water glue and water gas glue appere to be the strongest set and by chance very close to the color match.

Am planning top go one more day on the test board.
