Fibre glassing question..Fabby ??

Yes mate it goes off, resin and gel coat have a shelf life of a year i think it is if stored in right conditions.
You might be ok just using matt and resin as no doubt it will need a skim of filler to get the levels right as not dead flat on the top...

Cheers mate

So you think after 25 years it might be past it's best then..
I'll give it a go over the weekend, see how I get on..

Fingers crossed for me, hu ?

Cut the matt to fit into gap, nice sharp edge for first layer then 2 over the top overlaping by 4 " or so either side...dont get it too wet and not too dry

Yeah something like that but you will know when you do it, have a look on the underside(if i did it right that is... ) how it looks and aim for that finish..although it's cured it kinda looks wet/shiney well ish..Too much resin and it will get hot and be brittle not enough and it will fall apart.

just by coincidence ive been doing exactly that to a westfield scuttle that i picked up before i knew it wouldnt fit and a nose cone that dont fit either
both bought before i started my chassis and before i came here and learnt my mistake
if it works itll be good if not its only time and a little bit of resin etc
