"Sorry this is a bit off the engine topic but someone might be able to help.
I have just replaced the floor in my boat with a sheet of plywood, just screwed it down on top of the old glass skin because it was becomming a bit dosey. When I get around to it I will put down some carpet over the top of it.
Now here comes my question, if you imagine a square edge of ply butting into the side of the hull (glass) which is on an angle you are left with a triangular shaped gap. I need to fill this with something otherwise there is nothing to fix the crapet to and water will sit in in the gap.
What are peoples considered opinions as a suitable filler? (not structural just has to fill the gap)I considered epoxy, automotive type fillers, silicone oe even that expanding foam (polyeurothene i think) that builders use. Also I might laminate with fibreglass over it so it needs to be resistant to epoxy or polyesther etc.
thanks dm"
