How do you fix them? Can you give me a step by step? I've done a little fiberglass fix but it's been years. What about the gel coat. Does the resin setup enough that it can be sanded smooth? What do you do to get the gel coat looking good?

QUOTE(PanelBilly @ Sep 13 2015, 08:03 PM)  How big are these cracks? I have a corner missing a good 1" right at the bottom by the tire. I planned to repaint it. Just wasn't sure if the resin would be enough to sand it smooth? |
