How to fix fiberglass
Ok
so let me first say why I made this tutorial. I'm poor, I'm skilled,
and I sorta have time. Ok so my goal here was to fix my bodykit for
under 100 dollars in materials. So lets go to the hardware store or in
my case Home Depot and here is what my receipt looked like:
Ryobi 5" Orbital Sander: $34.88
Sanding discs 100 grit: 2.94
Empty Metal Quart Can: $0.97
Acid Brushes: $1.97
Fiberglass strand mat: $8.97
Resin: $11.97
Shop Towels: $1.97
Grand Total: $63.67
So first off sand down the fiberglass of any paint/primer. Then mix the
resin with the correct amount of hardener. Brush the resin on to the
area that needs fixing. Cut a piece of strand mat to cover the
crack/hole and make sure it covers it enough that there is 2 inches of
mat on either side of the crack/hole. Brush resin over the mat. Let set
for about 6 hours. Then sand. Wasn't that fun? Plus you saved yourself
a few hundred bucks.
