ppkk,

There's another method of reinforcing. Here's a repair How-To I wrote for Epo-Grip Adhesives sometime ago where filets were used for strengthening out of adhesive. The adhesive is their #30 Paste which mixes up like petroleum jelly it does not run or sag allowing you to place it in areas not easily accessible otherwise and its much stronger.
