Fibreglass Repairs
Submitted by carassius on Mon, 2008-04-21 11:51
My runner on my trailer has worn through the top coat of glass, I am replacing with rollers (no blowy, not thongs:), but my question is in regards to the glass repair, are there any dos & dont's, or can I just use standard f/glass repair bog & patch as per a car?

Caution
Carassius, depending on the depth and severity of the repair you should use talk bog, wacker or a combination with resin and the appropriate catalyst to fill the repair and then gell coat sprayed over and then rubbed back to get the nice smooth surface back.

Dont do it yourself
When we were in sharkbay we found that our boat had been bogged before and got a nice hole left in bottom of boat when bog fell out .
Repaired it ourselfs with the help and knowledge of some old saltys at the caravan park and with in 8 week out it came again . I would reccomend that maybe you look at paying some one like we did and it was not expencive. that was a year ago now
and sill as good as new.

Well said
The reason it falls out is the prep work for the new bog/glass to adhere to and the quality of product used.
