Drain plug help
I'm getting ready to glass in the stringers Balsa in my Vector and started thinking about the drain plug hole. Is there a block of wood that goes on the inside of the hull at the drain plug? I can't find any pictures of how it's supposed to be . I figure I better find out before I started glassing everything in, I would hate to mess it up now.

Re: Drain plug help
When you put the brass sleeve in did you put resin in the hole or did you seal the sleeve with 5200?

Re: Drain plug help
5200 and the sleeve requires a crimping tool

Re: Drain plug help
only thing about using 5200 is that if the bilge ever gets soaked with some gas it can softer, or weake the 5200, and, some metals don't bond worth a darn to 5200. best thing to do is oversize the hole by about 3 sizes, wet it out with epoxy until the wood won't soak anymore, then back-fill with thickened epoxy (silica, or microfiber), let it harden, redrill and place the tube in with more thickened epoxy.

Re: Drain plug help
After redrilling the resin filled hole do I add wet resin then install the brass sleeve ? Do I crimp the sleeve while the resin is still wet?

Re: Drain plug help
yeah, wet it out, both the hole and the brass, after you scratch it with some 60 grit or so, and put some slightly thickened (ketchup consistency) resin on the brass, and then do your crimp to instll.

Re: Drain plug help
Thanks. I got the stringers in, do I need to put a hole at the rear of them to let water drain from the sides in the box at the drain plug area?
