Repairing deck holes or surface damage requires laminating multiple layers of fiberglass, typically using polyester resin and 1708 biaxial cloth. Three methods exist for layering the patches: starting with the smallest piece and increasing in size, starting with the largest and decreasing, or a hybrid approach.▶ 1:14 The first method creates a "step" at each layer that requires careful rolling to bridge.▶ 6:39 The second method risks snagging the fin roller on the edges of smaller top layers, which can shift or tear the glass.▶ 7:47 The third, recommended method involves laying the largest piece first, followed by smaller layers, and finishing with a final large piece that caps the entire repair.▶ 11:00 This top layer prevents the fin roller from catching on edges and simplifies the process for beginners.▶ 10:55 After rolling out air and excess resin, the repair should cure overnight before applying wax-containing gel coat to ensure a full cure and easier sanding.▶ 12:58
