We built up another backer patch for a blind hole repair on our Alcort Catfish SMEDLEY from apiece of plastic to hold shape, a piece of cardboard to hold the TotalBoat THIXO thickened epoxy in place and woven roving fiberglass to provide a structural component to rebuild the hull on top of. The strings are so that we can pull the patch snug against the inside of the hull until the epoxy tacks up.

Part of the repair gets messy, we could wipe some areas to reduce the excess, but we will be sanding and adding more epoxy and fiberglass cloth to this area anyway. We use paint stir sticks and strings to hold the patch in place, part of the stick will be glued to the hull but that sands away easily.
