Dagger Board Repair in progress
Some basic steps.
Made simple fiberglass mold from a good dagger board.
Cleaned up the edge of the bad and put in some nails and a couple of stainless screws.
Keep in mind there are the spring steel rods that run the length of the board. I added the nails to give sideways structure. So hits from the side will keep the MarineTex in place. The 2 screws give some more attachment to the upper part.
I used the PVA as a release agent. I ended up spraying it on with an airbrush. Just 2 coats...
