[Rhodes22-list] Reconnecting the Tabernacle Screws Following Sacrificial Failure

[Chris on LBI]

Peter,

Thank you for your input. 

I am largely inexperienced with fiberglass, so you are probably right that I
am overly concerned about damage to the fiberglass (although Rick's caution
in the original thread does give one reason to be concerned ... he reported
what sounded like extensive damage to the fiberglass around the block when
his epoxy plugs pulled out). I don't have a sense for what fiberglass
failure would look like in a case like this. Suppose three  3/8" epoxy plugs
were to pull through the fiberglass. In your opinion, would the extent of
the damage local to each hole be in the neighborhood of 1", 2", or more (or
less)?

If repairs were necessary due to plugs pulling through the fiberglass, how
difficult would it be to remove the damaged fiberglass and then integrate
the repair with the undamaged surface? My tendency is to do almost all
repairs, except modern car engines, myself; would repair of this sort by a
novice be an afternoon project, weekend project, or multi-week project?

Thanks,
Chris
