I filled the really bad one hydraulically with cement, the 3M 5200 is a bit too viscous for the pinhole leaks even with a vacuum going on the hull. Everything is pretty closed up now. Finally, I'm doing fiberglass and epoxy resin over the whole area that has been giving me trouble. I think on my next sub I'll construct a giant rotational single axial machine so I can make sure all the voids get filled. Also, as I've use a lot of fiberglass and epoxy here and there I'm coming to the realization that encapsulating the entire ferro hull with fiberglass and epoxy would be beneficial. Although, the ferro cement sailboat book I followed to construct my hull, did not recommend it ( but they weren't building a sub). Getting ready to start concentrating on lead ! I'll probably have to add another axel to my trailer because of the extra weight ;-) </div><div> </div><div>Brian</div></div></div>_______________________________________________
