Serge,
You might want to consult more up-to-date sources than the original owner's
manual for repair and maintenance information. Since they had not perfected
making the panels, I would not assume they had perfected repair techniques
either.--Just kidding :-)
400 grit sounds a little rough to use on a "scratch." maybe 600, 1000, or
1200. If you fill in the stress crack without addressing what caused it, it
will just crack again.
About 3 years ago I had minor damage in an acrylic fender. I asked Terry
about using some type of acrylic repair goop and he did not know of any (at
that time) that had been/could be used successfully on Bricklin. I forgot
exactly what he said about that original acrylic filler goop. It is an
intriguing idea though maybe someone will discover something. I will talk to
my "Liquid Nails Source" about it. (BTW-Terry did fix the fender
successfully.)
