mast went up ok and everything was as should. however i noticed there was water in the lower section of the mast
on the 25th i went back to tresaith and after a failed launch into the surf decided it was too dangerous to sail with it incase of capsize.
i took the mast home and tried to find where the water was.
2 x 6mm holes later the water came out
one was along way from the middle of the section and the other close to the top
that appeared to have filler in it
the water was drained and left to dry.
I then purchased some epoxy resin from easy composites costing over £30
made a funnel and mixed 100g and 33g of hardner. the mast was then tipped so that the resin flowed toward the join section of the mast and create a barrier so that no more water went into the sealed section.
luckily this poured ok , a little latter i checked the cup of resin that was left and it was giving off plenty of heat. on the mast i checked for the same heat and knew where the resin had settled. then using some jb resin filler i put a bolt in the hole to plug it. hopefully will be able to grind this down latter .
