Author	Topic:   Foam and epoxy
jtwilber	posted 03-19-2006 01:13 PM ET (US)         I'm rebuilding an old 69 13'. A few places I'll be working in the foam. Can I assume that epoxy will not damage the foam... If I full some spots with epoxy mixtures am I ok? Also... There are no tow thimbles on stern. Can I open glass and insert 3/4 wood blocks then glass back to surface for structural strenth. Thanks for any help
