I applied the Total Boat epoxy resin this AM after drilling two 1/2" holes to get the 1/4" plastic tube into the areas to inject the resin. The angle to get the tube in was tough, but with a paint stick used to prop things open from the electrical outlet on the left, that helped spread the resin all around. I used Glad Press N Seal to cover the fiberglass around the camper before using the resin.

I used 4 pumps of the large resin which when added with the slow hardener ended up being just over 4 ounces. That appeared to be more than enough to put in the resin, which took about 15-20 minutes. The temps were in the low 60s, and I used the same Glad wrap to cover the board and then 6 pressure points to keep the board flat against the camper.

I plan to wait at least 24 hours given the temps today will just get to 75F at the peak, and I want to make sure this is fully dry before removing.
If it doesn't stick or work like I'm hoping, then I'll plan to remove the old fiberglass around that area and just use Bondo resin and the cloth to rebuild the area.
