[Shop-talk] Patching fiberglass

[Brad Kahler]

Phil / Nolan,

I have no idea what product was used in the original product.  This is just
for repairs to a worn out cab for a worn out Cushman.  My main concern is
keeping water out, looks are secondary.  I bought some stuff at Lowes (I
think its Elmers?) and will just use that.  If this was for a Lotus like
Tony or Phil has I'd be looking to have someone else do the work so that it
would be done right the first time :)

Thanks all!

Brad
