No.

Fiberglass does not melt.

You will have to do it the old fashioned way.

Either lay up some additional glass on the ends to match the flare ( a big pain in the butt) or just go out and buy some flared ones. They don't fit perfectly either by the way, but that's how it is with fiberglass.

Thanks guys! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) I thought I would ask before I ruined usable parts. I guess I am going to pull out the mat and resin again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)
