Here is video I just completed on how I have gone about dealing with wet balsa. I'm just about finished with drying 85% of the hull below the waterline. The other 15% is the 12" just below the waterline that was adequately dry when I started. Having done this much work I did sort out a couple of techniques to make this tolerable work. This video is about getting to dry balsa/new core. I will do another on the filling and glassing, but that is well covered in many places elsewhere on the web.
I apologize in advance for the video and editing work, but I think it is important for owners of these boats to know they can be repaired and restored.
