I have a 12" x 14" soft area within my cabin sole near my aft berth and galley in the corner. I have read extensive amount cabin sole replacement threads and blogs (great information) on his forum but I am finishing up some critical projects right now and preparing my sailboat for this coming season and at this time, I don't want to take on another extensive project, especially right before launch. The soft spot has been there from my purchase in 2018.
Would something like Smith's penetrating epoxy resin sealer harden up the area for a season or two, until I have time for a complete cabin sole replacement?
I don't want to remove the small section of floor and reinforce it, as that alone would be a extensive project before launch.
I am looking for a temporary fix to stabilize the floor in that area to prevent from further weakness by walking on it. If I put my weight on it, it depresses down by 1/4" or so.
Any thoughts on a temp fix?
(side note: I could not have tackled so my large projects this winter without the many detailed blogs and threads on this site; one project was replacing the lens within my hatches - yesterday I reinstalled them with the new acrylic lens and what a huge difference. I can actually see the sky above from the cabin and top they look great, what a difference...)
