Fibreglass repair

Ummmmmmm don't you just love carriers.......

It is repairable and not hard,..even if the glass is cracked all the way through.

On the back feather out the crack with a wizzy then patch with resin and matt.
When that's cured you can attack the gel face, again feather it back with a wizzy then using pigmented gel with wax solution( top coat or flow coat) build up like using body filler.
Let this cure and sand it down using finer and finer wet n dry

The colour I used is super white pigment by west and senior, bout £6 for 500g from CFS.

I'm waiting to hear back from Emma on which carrier it was etc so will let you know.

If I'm completely honest, I'm terrible at any kind of bodywork repair. Its one of the reasons I sold my MGB, after trying to patch a wing. I think I'd have to be crazy not to accept the incredibly kind offer from Andy and get a replacement in clear gelcoat. This way I can keep my build progressing. I've got so much to try to do I don't want to fall even further behind with bodywork at this stage in the build.

Just as a thanks for the hard work by Andy at Saturn, who turned around a replacement scuttle for my car. He's gone out of his way to help me and really can't say enough to thank a guy who effectively gave me a scuttle for free!

Hi Deezee,

glad that you received the scuttle ok, big Andy made the scuttle & i wrapped it , tried to make sure the carrier couldn,t damage the replacement

cheers

Hi Deezee what are you doing with the damaged scutle? If your selling it I'd probably have a crack at trying to fix it, am on a tight budget and wouldn't mind a faulty part.

Cheers Chris

I don't know what to do with it to be honest. I don't have the skill or materials to repair it. But I don't want to sell it and make money out of the kindness of the Andys'.

Your not the 1st person to ask either there seems to be quite a queue forming.

Deezee..... don,t feel uneasy at all mate, you do what is best for you & another forum member/builder with regard your damaged scuttle, if another forum member can make use of your scuttle then "everyone,s" a winner

cheers
