So ran into some trouble in preparing my deck for a delamination repair.

So what is the process if some of the drilled holes did actually go all the way through?

And what is the process if you set your bit stop and test the first 2 or 3 then went gung ho only to find part way through that the bit stop had slipped and several holes have gone all the way through?

This was on my Free H17

We're these your vent holes or your fill holes? If vents, go ahead and inject realizing you may have to fix those holes later. If its your fill, I would try and plug the bottom with real thick epoxy and possibly drill another hole.

All is not lost. Just need a little more epoxy. Here is a link that may help;

Matt Bounds' response in that thread will answer all your questions I think.

P.S. A "free boat" is an oxymoron.
