[Shop-talk] Patching fiberglass

[Brad Kahler]

I have a Cushman Truckster with a fiberglass cab that is in need of
patching.  It has various holes drilled in it ranging from 1/4" to about
1/2" in diameter.  There are also a couple of good cracks and splits as
well.  The fiberglass appears to be about 3/16" to 1/4" thick throughout.

I've not worked that much with fiberglass and would like to know the best
way to fill the holes.  I was thinking about grinding away some of the
surface material to allow some fiberglass mat to lay below the surface and
then apply the gel.  Same with the cracks.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Brad
