@celicapunkracer Yes, it’s feasible but will be a more extensive repair! I would highly recommend a trained Body Shop person for this! Hold & clamp the bumper to its original shape. Bring the cracked area together like a puzzle before repairing. CLEAN & PREP AREA THOROUGHLY BEFORE ANY RESIN & GLASS WORK. Double (at least) the amount of glass & resin to hold the shape & extend the width of the reinforcement on the back. A steel cross member within the fiberglass is recommended for added strength.

@KCKONG100 Yes, you can use the same process on your boat. You will need to consult the boat dealer for a small amount of paint or gelcoat that matches your boat for the ” finish” of the repair. Use car body filler to take up the space of the chunk before using the paint or gelcoat. (No repair lasts forever, so be prepared to do it again depending on use of the boat. )

would this technique work on a boat?

im gonna need this for wood shop

O man, this is awesome, i really appreciate the video, and just so people know dont be scared to do it because youll never learn if you dont.

i never used fiberglass this is the 1st videoi i seen and im going to give it a try i feel confident! thanks again!

This video is a winner. Basic but informative.

I have over 20 years experience in fiberglass repair. This is about as close as I have seen on Youtube to a correct repair. Here are a few tips. Always use mat fibeerglass under any cloth and use a laminating roller to work out the air. Second, lightly grind the outer surface at repair site to clean loose glass. I use fiberglass on outer surface as well, only using filler for filling pin holes. Makes a better repair. Heat & cool repair 4 times to help stop shrinkage from sun. Hope this helps.

Part 2 of 2:
If it is impossible to get to the back of the holes, use this procedure:
Stuff the hole with fiberglass screen material (which can be bought at Home Depot or Lowes). Then press some polyester putty material into the screen and around the hole. This gives you a good surface to lay the fiberglass matting material on top. Proceed to sand and smooth out after all of the fiberglass after it has cured overnight.

I have a question:

I’m working on removing some rust damage to the bottom of my car. I’ve removed a lot of the rust and have holes that are about 3″ wide. I obviously can’t do the method of putting the fiberglass on the inside and putting on the outside because I can’t get to the inside.

What do you suggest? I thought of possibly calculating the area that the fiberglass would go and denting it in, applying the fiberglass and then puttying as necessary.

Your thoughts?

just what i was looking for . i have a question, what if i need to repair a part that has been broken off ?
