[QUOTE="Turd Ferguson, post: 469836, member: 24527"] Been a while since I updated this thread. Haven’t gotten to do too much work but I’ve made progress. Here’s a few pictures of a rear deck support that I rebuilt on account of the old one rotting away. Two pieces of 1/2” Marine Plywood sandwiched together. Predrilled all the holes and then sealed using Totalboat Penetrating Epoxy. The main hole through the center for the seat post bracket the filled with a thickened epoxy mixture, using the Milled Glass Fibers and the Silica Dust. Let that dry, and then drilled out a new hole for the post base. The idea behind this was that if any water makes its way down the seat post bracket and through that hole, it won’t contact any of the end grain of the plywood. I then did one more epoxy coat and installed the stainless tee nuts for mounting the seat bracket. This panel is now installed back in the boat along with the livewell. I don’t have any pictures of how it looks, but will be sure to take some next time.
