crash bandicoute

i recently purchased a cowl from fiberglass specialties for a smith mini kit by sig. there is a very prominent step between the 2 halves on the top and was wondering if that can be evened out using epoxy and microballoons. and do i need to do anything other than rough up the surface with some light sanding paper for something for the epoxy jazz to bite to? also, am i going to have issues later down the road with it eventually coming loose or cracking the paint?

I also had to repair a new cowl from Fiberglass Specialties. Different problem, but I sure was disappointed with their quality.

I think your repair plan will work out fine as long as they put a joiner strip of glass inside the seam. In addition to sanding, I would clean with laquer thinnner to make sure any mold release was gone. As a bit of insurance you could put a layer of light weight glass cloth on the outside after you fill the step. This should help prevent the crack developing.

I'm repairing a set of fiberglass wheel paints and would like to get some of the light, very easy to sand filler I have used before but can't recall the name. It is a light blue and comes in a large tube. Does anyone recall the name and/or brand and where I might pickup some. Thanks, Don

Evercoat comes in a blue can, and dries to a cyan ~ kinda blue color. It is a very smooth polyester glaze that feathers to a fine edge. I think that may be the name you are after.

Any place that sells auto paint supplies will have some type of spot putty,, I've even seen it at Pep Boys and Wally World
