The Polyester skin on the bow and stern have worn down to the wood frame. I want to patch and add a metal strip to protect from the rocks. Paint has kept skin from breaking loose and minimal leakage occurred. I have tried several glues and sealants but nothing sticks to the Polyester. My plan is to "clean" skin on both sides of the bow/stern and use fiberglass to cover both stem timbers
This area is supported by the stem timbers so flexing is not an issue only mechanical integrity, Will fiberglass adhere to polyester? How "clean" must the skin be to bond?
