Here is some positivity. Everyone is an expert and loves to put their point across. I have never worked with Fibreglass and welcomed your approach. There was a bolt hole that had broken free so the plan was to fill and re-drill. Thank you so much. I was going to use gaffer tape but used the inside of a tetra-pak milk container as it is foil and offered support of card. Masking tape used to hold that against the existing bodywork. It just worked perfectly and came away without any pull. Smooth as silk underneath. V happy chap. 👍

Thanks for extra protection advices! I seen people using catalyst with no eye protections, aero-sil with no masks etc. Great video with detailed informations. I've been learning fiberglass and gel coating repairing for 3 months now thanks for helping me expanding my knowledge.

I used to do this on the AV-8B Harrier. Showed the boys how to use the vacuum bag and heat blanket. I have an AZ K5 blazer top to save. Thanks for the help.

Great video! The only thing missing is a cure time before sanding or adding additional layers. Otherwise, very helpful!!

never mix with the brush, it introduces air into the resin

@classicmotorsports is it safe to use paint stripper to remove the old gelcoat??
