: Thanks for the reassuring advice and details on the procedure. One
: last question - how long to allow for the moistened surfaces to
: dry before applying epoxy? Is overnight enough? Is four days too
: much and the holes open up again? I'm also doing this in a
: rather moist basement, and it's been raining a LOT. Fiberglass
: cloth arrived today, so I'm itching to get going!

Can't have too much time after wetting the boat. Once dry it's dry.
