I just finished sanding down my epoxy stick repair patch. I am going to put on a full deck pad. The pad will cover over the repair. Before I do that is there something I should put over the patch area to ensure water tight
before gluing the pad? (4200 or similar ? ) Also, is there an adhesive recommended to install the deck pad with? Thank you soo much, Len

From the other thread, I like Barge Cement for putting down deck pads,
but I really just prefer to order the pads with a sticky back, saves time and mess. You can order almost anything you could want from North Shore Inc http://www.northshoreinc.com/store/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=4.
With regard to sealing, if you have doubts about your work, you should probably lay in some glass and epoxy. Paint can help to seal up micro holes, and I would paint the area to help with sealing, but it's not a
cure for poor repairs. From the picture, your repair looks fine.
Good luck Len,

To ensure a structurally sound surface, particularly under a pad, I'm with others here that laminating a couple layers of fiberglass cloth is the way to go. 3M Acrylic Marine putty can be used to fill any air bubbles in the lamination. Then, contact cement on both surfaces (board and pad) to install the pad, and you're good to go.
