Using my spare 7th boat stand, I lifted the bow, then the stern adjusting the 6 stands accordingly, to raise the boat 6 inches. Using a 7 inch variable, slow speed grinder on the slowest rpm I ground all the gelcoat off 16 inches above and behind the lead keel, then I surface ground the lead for a good bite with the epoxy. I used a 20 ton jack to tighten the gap at the forward point and wrapped the point with one layer uni-direction, which held it secure.
Sorry, no pictures of it all sanded out
5 layers of 13 oz unidirectional glass
Edges all sanded out ready for barrier coat and fairing
