vector recore questions
Ok so Im in the middle of the cutting and grinding my Vectors core out. Everything so far has come out like soggy crap and Im more amazed every foot that this boat didnt sink or how many unsafe ones there are still out there that people just dont have a clue. Ive gotten to my center square tube over my pad that isnt really square at all kind of a lop sided square. Im cutting it off and scrapping the core below and my oscilating cutter goes through! Im how did I do that? So Im digging out the hole to patch but I didnt go through the hull but a void kind of with wood in it. Theres a small space between the wood and glass layer and that layer has the core glued to it. I would think this would be a big glued together sandwhich. I cannot see how the core glued a layer thats not even attached does any good. The wood doesnt look as the layer of glass was never glued to it. I dont believe its to the outside and really cannot see that is is that thin. My outside gel is white and dont see any around the hole. There is support under the pad so I cannot see it from the outside. Can anyone shed some light here. Is there gel coat, glass, wood, glass layer then the core, then another layer of glass?. Should I be cutting off this layer before I put the core down? Any help would be great.

Re: vector recore questions
