Just to clarify... you can re-do these old repairs where moisture was a big problem, and there are parts of the break not filled properly due to the water that was in the break during the original repair. Doesn't matter if it's the perimeter of a bulleye or legs of a star, etc...
Weeks/months later, these areas no longer have moisture in them, and they often fill nicely if you cna get resin to the area. If there was still water in there, the same problems would recur.
(And even the grey, milky areas from moisture sometimes will fill with resin given enough time... more evidence that whatever moisture was there is gone...)
There are often still problems associated with repairing "old repairs", but water in the break is not one of them.
And, I'm not saying that water cannot "mix" with resin and mess it up permanently. It separates the resin enough that it can't fill 100%, and can leave a grey or milky look, etc.
But the resin is not water soluable... to bad. If it were, a little moisture would not be a big deal. It would just dilute the resin a bit. Then we could have a special "wet repair" resin made to accept the dilution of the wet break.
Hey Delta, can you get busy with that? I need some of that resin... asap...
