nels Posted September 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 A boat builder gave me this tip..cover areas you don’t want the epoxy to stick to with packing tape..then to get the gap you want use the foam stripping that you put around windows to stop drafts in the gap and cover with tape again. then it’s ready to epoxy over. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
