West System
Epoxy
We used West System Epoxy to coat both sides of the fascia boards. This
made my initial purchase of marine grade plywood over-kill.
Trimming new
fascia
At the boat, we trimmed and fitted the new fascia boards using a power
grinder.
Trimming new
fascia
Our careful pattern making paid off. The new boards fit with minor
trimming.
New
fascia installed in main saloon (port side)
We secured the new fascia boards to the fiberglass cabin sides with Liquid
Nail adhesive. This turned out not to hold at all. When the ports were
finally installed, it was the port frame and the teak trim that ended up
securing the fascia. We also spread a "dam" of marine epoxy putty on the
cabin side around the port cut-out. This served to protect the fascia board
from any water that might get through the port sealant.
