Default RE: ABS cowl reinforcement

I just reinforced an ABS plastic cowl that had multiple cracks and a chunk missing from it after a few hard nose landings in the grass. The cowl seemed paper thin and it sustained lots of damage.

I used SIG finishing resin and 2 oz. fiberglass cloth. I layed in three times, trimming each layer as it gelled enough to cut with an Xacto.
