My 914 fiberglass flares were cracked when I got the car, is there a way to correct this so it doesn’t happen again?

I used kitty hair for my fenders. When I had to build it up I added fiberglass strands to the kitty hair. Went over that with a thin bondo then glaze.
No cracks or bubbles yet in 5 years, but who knows whatll happen in 10. I also had the fenders on the car for 3 years prior to finishing and I put about 3 layers of fiberglass on the inside as deep as possible to create a stronger seam. Ive stood on every fender of mine with no sounds. Im a metal guy and would have gone that route if I could, but these fenders fell into my lap and I fell in love with them. |
