I am working on a 1991 18' center console and I discovered some core rot around the fuel fill. I started picking away at it and goes pretty far around the fuel fill. Is there any easy way to fix this. I figured I could dig out the core and replace it with thickened epoxy putty, but it it more extensive than I thought at first. Does the core need to be completely dry before I can fill back in with epoxy? Will the epoxy putty stick well to the upper and lower fiberglass skins? I really want to get the boat in the water soon and wasn't looking for a big project.....
I feel like if I epoxy and trap some moisture in there it will lead to further problems. Please give me a little guidance here.
