Default emergency fiberglass,,,



late in the evening,,, need fiberglass,,, and don't have any,,, or just maybe you need something stronger or don't care for the mess of building fiberglass up with layers, maybe you just want to use CA glue,,

I had to repair my son's cracked wheel paints (Funtana 40), and I have used fiberglass and epoxy on the inside of other wheel paints before only to have the repair to crack too,,, I couldn't glue on the inside of these wheel paints because they are coated with dirt and axle lube,,

what I did was I used thin CA glue and Great Planes "Uiltra-Grip CA Hinge" (sheet), I cut the sheet to cover the crack, sanded the gel-coat around the crack and glued the sheet to the outside of the paints, it ant beautiful but it worked good and it's very strong,,

now I'm thinking of other things this would work on, such as frame repairs..

what yee-a think..
Jim
