fiberglass buggy body repair

Post by sandshark »

How have you guys gone about fixing/filling in holes in your fiberglass buggy projects (old taillight holes, cracks,etc)???

What methods & materials worked well for you... I am getting ready for this phase of my project and don't want the repairs to show up or crack, etc after I get it painted!

You want to use fiberglass reson and matting you can buy in most parts stores , most commen is made by the Bondo co.
Do what it says on the box and you won't have to worry about cracking.
I grind about 5cm around the holes for good grabing.
You can use tape to close the back side of the hole to suport the wet matting. then when it dries put another layer on the backside.
I have done this many times and it works great.
