Didnt work out well , the resin melted away the foam to about the size of half a can of beer.
sorry this is a sup board with a windsurf mast insert that was ripped out when i cocked up on a wave.
Trying to do a home job and the above happened . now ive got a big bloody hole in the board.
Any advice on repair of that depth and size
im not concerned about appearances , just want to get it water tight and hopefully put the mast insert back in
would i just get the epoxy resin and top it up till its level with the existing board
cheers for any help .
Probaly should have just given it to the man but eh this is how you learn

With a cavity that big if you just fill it with epoxy resin or even resin and q-cell mix, the heat generated will further melt the foam. You're better off filling it with some foam, either polyurethane or polystyrene, sanding it flat and then glass over it.
