It would be good to have no seeping but I don’t think you need to worry about the keel bolts corroding…as an easy fix as opposed to rebedding the keel you could try grinding the joint out a bit from the outside…maybe half inch or so deep and quarter inch wide with an angle grinder…after it dries fill with thickened epoxy or maybe 3M 4200 or even 5200 then put on antifouling paint and go sailing Dwight Veinot C&C 35 MKII, Alianna Head of St. Margaret's Bay, NS _____ From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of djhaug...@juno.com Sent: April 1, 2013 12:05 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List Keel joint seepage Yes, at the joint...
