I plan to address both areas with one of these epoxy resins:
1) Bondo Fiberglass Resin, Interior and Exterior Home Use, 100% Waterproof, Strong, Durable, 28.8 fl oz. I have this product already from a prior fiberglass repair needed. Ready to mix and use. Sets in 12 minutes, and cure time is 2 hours.
2) J-B Weld 50165 Original 25ml Resealable Syringe. After mixing the two part formula with the included mixing tray and stir stick, J-B Weld takes 4-6 hours to set and 15 hours to cure.
3) Gorilla 2 Part Epoxy, 5 Minute Set, .85 Ounce Syringe, Clear. 30 minute cure.
The West Marine/WEST SYSTEM 105 Epoxy Resin (1 qt) w/207 Special Clear Epoxy Hardener (.66 pt) + Mini Epoxy Metering Pump Set appears to be more than what I would need for this area, so although highly rated, I'm looking for a smaller amount needed and a lower cost here for this area that is no more than 10 inches by 7 inches at most.
Update on the epoxy resin, I'm getting the
TotalBoat 5:1 Epoxy Resin Kits, Marine Grade Epoxy for Fiberglass and Wood Boat Building and Repair at Amazon after doing more research.
1) The Bondo resin is a polyester resin, not epoxy resin, so I'm not convinced it will hold for the long term after reading more about each material type.
2) The JB Weld epoxy resin comes in 25ml syringes, and I don't want to short-change how much I'll need. I was thinking I'd need 3 containers of that, and after buying that, it's nearly 40% the cost of the TotalBoat solution. Fingers crossed on the epoxy resin, and more to come...
I checked underneath of the tire areas of the underbelly, and didn't really see where that was going to be causing the water intrusion either, on that side of the camper.
