Hi, All

cut some shiny backed cardboard to fit round the faults, shiny side up against the hull. Wax it well then stick it on the hull as neat as you can.Then do all the repair from the inside. I f done well it leaves very little to do on the outside. nemesis

I must sound like a broken record but is there any chance of a picture otherwise we're all somewhat guessing, you have several threads asking but we want to see the original fault otherwise we're all guessing?
