Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: Hull Separation From Foam Core

On the starboard side of my conquest about 12 inches from the stern to about 30 inches or so forward and down about 12 inches from the gunwale, my princess separated the outer skin from the foam. I am confident about making the repair but conflicted about the bonding agent. Do I use epoxy, vinylester or polyester resin? I would like to use epoxy because of the item’s great bonding characteristic but I am not sure if it is reactive to the foam core. I don’t want to dump anything in between the boat’s outer skin and foam that will eat the foam. Any opinion? Thanks.
