Re: think i will have to start over?

nope.....no need to start over....

just take a big honkin fan......and blow air over the key hole cut out.

let it dry for a good two weeks......if you can add heat.....all the better.

next time.....cover the boat !

when the surface water is dry....to speed things up a tad....wet out the water with acetone.....it will suck the moisture out of the wood
