    I have a fiberglass trailer fender that has a crack from the middle to the outside of the fender. I need to repair it and am wondering if I need to cut out the damaged portion and fill it with fiberglass or put the fiberglass cloth over the crack and just sand the cracked part. Thanks- great video!!

    This repair would have been far better if you layup both sides of the repair, then just have a small skim to profile, also when doing the layup you should have an overlap between the layers if possible.

    It is hard for me to tell. Is the "bondo" spread out onto the painted area? If so, does it later get sanded away to make it flush with the existing paint that does not have bondo on it? I thought I heard where bondo does not adhere to painted surfaces. Is that correct? Excuse my ignorance as I am a beginner.

    My opinion, the new fiberglass will be stronger and harder to sand. She trying to flush it out, the paint and older, aged fiberglass will sand away much faster making it difficult to remove the hump you made. Bondo sands easy and if your to aggressive or crate a flat spot, it's easier to put on a new coat and try again.

    Ur bike's fairings are made of plastic, the process used to build them is through Compressed molding of this material, fiber glass can be used to fix them but It will become a bit heavier than prev. Depending on the amount u put in (fiber glass).

    Here's a question for you, Sir. Sometimes a Corvette or Hot Rod will come into my shop and will have air bubbles (size of a pea) in the paint. I can sand them down and repair them with filler, but sometimes the bubbles will reappear a month or two down the line. What is causing this and how do i stop this?
