The left photo better illustrates the barrier that was created using TUCK tape. The product was just poured into the area and
it then ran down the holes. This is a another way to get the product into the wood. This type of application is very good
as it simulates complete immersion of the deteriorated wood.

Transom
1988 Campion
These were sent in after a sucessful repair of the transom of this campion. Holes were drilled approxmately every six inches,
then Clear Penetrating Epoxy Sealer was applied to the area. Rather than using funnels to apply the product a dam was created
using TUCK tape. I was told this was the only tape that could withstand the solvents in CPES. Note the tape on the holes on
the outside of the transom. It's hard to believe but these had to be applied because the product was pouring out of the wood
and down the transom.
This customer chose to drill numerous holes through the fiberglass on the inside of the transom using a hole drill. This purpose
of this was to aid in the drying of the wood. It takes a long time to dry wood especially when it is not fully exposed to moving
air. It is not necessay to do this, but it does aid in the drying time. Another customer accompished the same type of
repair but his method was sllightly different. (see 1993 Campion for this repair). It was amazing to see how much and how far
the penetration of CPES went into the wood. Tape was used to keep the CPES from oozing out of the wood onto the fiberglass.
It's important to have clean up solvent handy so we can clean up before curing takes place.
