BlueMoon1	Posted - 13 Nov 2014 : 17:51:29 Hi folks. I used to own an 18.5. I feel a bit of an interloper now because I now own an old Seamaster Cub. It was cheap, so I took a punt on it. Now, I've found extensive dry rot in the cabin. It means a major refit. The reason I'm asking here, rather than the Seamaster club is the this site was really helpful to me with Blue Moon -- lots of positive help -- so I thought I'd try. My problem is: I need to replace the plywood liners that are fitted to the insides of the hull, in the cabin. Trouble is, I can't see how they are fastened to the hull. Has anyone done this task? Any suggestions will be welcomed. Alan Alan

You will need to cut off the original liners, smooth back all rough edges and then offer up the new piece. Find a method of holding stable until the new fibreglass goes off, usually an hour or 2 should be strong enough. If you are only fibre glassing a small area you can pick up small kits from a car parts shop, for larger quantities, look for a local trade outlet who will sell to you direct.
