Hi Guys,

I am restoring a 1985 Hobie 18. It is a "redline" boat so the resin is a red color. Here is a link to the thread:

viewtopic.php?f=13&t=12641

My next step is to add reinforcing to the front crossbar. I purchased the anchor plate reinforcing kit from Hobie & have read your thread on adding the fiberglass reinforcement. Below is a photo of the front crossbar inside my boat.

I am wondering if when you did your repair if the "globs" of resin were as large as in this photo & if you ground the globs down before adding the strips of fiberglass. It might be that these "globs" are adding a lot of strength to the assembly & I don't want to make it less stable, but I don't think the fiberglass will adhere well to the globs unless they are ground down and smoothed out. Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
