Glassfibre Repair Kit
Michael - 8/11/09 at 10:47 PM

I have seen a Glassfibre repair kit in my local motorfactors and wondered if i could use this to make my own Glassfibre bulge?

I can not tell if there is gelcoat in the kit.

The one i saw is same packaging but larger box.

standard kit no gelcoad so will need to use filler and smooth

That's basically just some chopped strand matt and some polyester resin and catalyst. As said you'ld really want some gelcoat (+ pigment unless you're going to spray it) for the outer layer and that's about it!

Thanks.

Did not think it had Gelcoat, but was told by someone at work i could use repair kit to make the bulge.

Will keep searching the net for one, and sounding like goldilocks will need to be just right.

Its going on a Ali Bonnet, so will be painted with the bonnet once done.
