15 min repair to get back on h2o for the next day

After Leech kindly did a hull depth puncture test by grinding my board into the razor like rocks at buckets, it was in need of a quick repair, this kind of repair is so that I can take it out the next day and know that it is water tight and structurally strong, no sanding of sharp edges and glass required, The sanding flat, fairing and painting can be done at a later date. I ground away some glass to allow any wet divinycell to dry out, with the help of a heat gun (hair dryer will do the same job) I mixed 20 ml of resin, wet out 2 layers of 6 oz glass on some plastic and put it aside. I mixed the remainder resin with some qcells to form a bog and filled the hole with this, I then flipped over the glass and plastic onto the wet bog, worked out any air bubbles and pressed it flat. When its dry Ill pull off the plastic and go sailing, I can make it look all pretty at another later date, or not! Easy !
