The core can be wet and separated in the bond between the skins, i.e., no long structural, without being mush.

- Epoxy a water soaked core?
- Almost any epoxy will set up in a damp environment
- If you pulled out mush...you have three options..more or less...
- If it's wet but not "mushy"

- Good answer and you're right
- I agree, but

- If it's not dry it's wet. Foam core can tolerate a bit of moisture, but wood core
- I had thought of using a wet/dry vac as a liposuction device

- thanks everyone!
- If your blade isn't long enough, get the 1/8" X 1" aluminum at the auto parts store.
- IF it's in that zone around the waterline...
- Not a good plan. Band-aid repairs like that make a boat into a POS over time.
- My repair suggestion would be the same if the damage was an inch below the deck..do it right
- thanks everyone!
