Fiberglass does not repair, correct? It’s almost always a replace?

fiberglass can be repaired, but theres DEFINANTLY a proceedure to it

basicly you carve out a swath of the old shit, grind both sides to a wide bevel, and lay up the whole area again, just like they lay up a fiberglass panel (mat layup, not chopped layup)

its a bitch on a large area, and it realy should only be done on holes, not long cracks, simply because of the work involved

it looks worse in person i think. the white horizontal line is nearly broken completely through.

if its most of the way thru, it might as well be all the way thru, by the time your done removing damaged material youll have nothing left.

its like acid rain damage on clearcoat, sure theres still clearcoat there, but by the time your done wetsanding the damage, will there be anything left to buff out ?
