Bobs nose cone

[Hydropromax]

My bobs nose cone lost some of the bondo this weekend. Does anybody have a suggestion of what i can do that will last a little bit better than the bondo, putty stuff? :bs:

marine tex, grind out all the old bondo first though.

I've been searching and looking at what others have used. It looks like Marine Tex and some PC-7 epoxy. The bondo thats on it looks almost a 1/4" thick. :nonod:

I get mine from the local marina i'm sure if you did a google search you can get it online though.

It looks like my local ace hardware should have some, looks like i'm gonna be sanding and chizeling in the morning. Thanks for the info.

mine did the same thing. 1-grind out the filler, 2-sand blast the area, 3- clean with a good solent, 4- repeat #3, 5- repeat #3 6 use a good epoxy filler. you can use a stranded type bondo filler in a pinch but its not the same as a good epoxy job.

I got a bobs lower. How long before I should worry about this?

use some clear packing take over the marine tex to hold it in place while the epoxy cures over nite.

use only acetone or lacker [sp] thinner all othe solvents leave a film that will hinder bonding strength.
