[ham] [Rhodes22-list] Deck thickness

[Alex Bell]

A good way to do that is to use a piece of coat hanger bent into an L
shape and put into a drill. It could be 1 to 1 1/2" long, and will beat
the foam up and cut it out so you can vacuum it out of a sizable hole.
Then you fill the area with epoxy. You need to drill some small holes
around the cored out area so that you can force expxy out those holes,
and thereby know that you've filled the area. Don't use polyester, which
has that nice "get high" fragrance, since it does not adhere well to
fully cured polyester. After this cures, you should still use a backing
plate.
