Injectadeck Product Features
Injectadeck is not meant for tiny soft spots, it is meant for significantly soft sections of decks, and cored hulls. Great for areas that feel like they will break through or tear. Injectadeck has saved decks that actually sound like ripping cloth when stepped on. Injectadeck needs only a void or mold to contain it. If the area you plan to repair has a rip in it you can patch the rip first sealing Injectadeck foam in its mold.
Overview – the Injectadeck repair: Drilling a hole at the low point of the 2 ply fiberglass sandwich, or in the rear bilge hatch on the underside of the deck or a couple of #30 holes at a low point where you think the water would collect. This will allow excess water to drain out of your boat’s deck, the migrating foam will force it out. On top surface you drill a 8″-10″hole pattern through the top layer of fiberglass and just the wood core (if present) but not through the bottom fiberglass layer and inject the foam
down thru the core. Injectadeck will travel along the lower laminate’s surface filling the spaces. The foam is hard enough to stand on after 30 min. Next step is to fill the deck holes then optionally roll on non skid to complete the repair. Done!
Injectadeck can be used several ways:
- To “Skim” filling an empty void between the wood core and upper layer of fiberglass (requires heavy gauge top fiberglass)
- To “thru core inject” between the wood and the lower layer of fiberglass, filling the voids and consuming the water.
- To “Replace missing Core” when you drill and nothing is inside, no wood just dirt, mulch and slime, maybe a roach crawls out. (Hatteras)
- To “Fill & Seal” Around hatches and portholes sealing them and radiating out to soft areas created by the fasteners.
- For “Vertical” applications in the sides of cored hulls and walls. removing 4-8 fasteners enlarging holes, inject and use a larger fastene
- To “Apply Overhead” Injecting under deck, across cabin tops and fly bridges with a partner, plugging your injections the second the tip is out. We also use the product to “bed fuel tanks” under the deck. We fill the spaces by squirting the liquid mix around the sides running under it and expanding to provide a secure landing.
Note – On the thin fiberglass decks of powerboats “skimming” above the wood is not recommended since it will create bulging. Injection under the wood, to fill the rotted-out voids is best for restoring the original supportive feel if you have alot of core left. Filling an empty deck the foam lays down then pops out the drill holes in round balls. Your holes and drain are the pressure relief.
Injectadeck is water catalytic and when the process is performed properly with drain holes for displaced water you can often pass a marine survey moisture meter test where you previously failed!
