some repair problem/questions

One:

I picked a FireWire dirt cheap but it has a collapsed deck in the tail pad area from the previous owner doing too many airs.

I tried to rebuild the areas with milled fiber/qcel putty and glass but it’s collasped again.

Do i have to did all the foam out and refoam the board again and then use deCell before glassing it?

I was thinking of cutting out the collapsed area and using expanding foam in a can and more qcell/milled fiber putty and then glassing the while back deck with carbon fiber with 1/8 exposed cork over the top of that instead of trying to re-dcell the deck and then glassing it 

bass akwards?

I was going to vac bag the carbon fber/cork on the deck

I was using this chromaveil stuff from fiberglast to cover up some ugly woodskinned boards with lots of sand thoughs.

I glassed the chromaveil on with a layer or 2oz over that but becuase of the heat where I live I ended up with a huge bubble on the nose becuase of a temp change issue before hotcoatng.

I’ve drilled a bunch of holes all over the bubble even slit it and am planning to inject xylene dliuted pigmented epoxy onto the holes with a syringe and then vacbag the bubble down flat as I can get it.

I can’t just cut out the bubble because its a patterned and printed veil (see below)

bad idea?

I can help you Bernie. I have plenty of 5lb corcell for the firewire repair and I can help you troubleshoot the second board.

aloha,

put the end of your vacuum hoze over one of the holes it the nose.  Take some regular epoxy and drip it on the other holes. Watch the vacuum suck the resin into the bubble.  Works every time
