Alternative repair method

You would of course need to clean the area completely and then sand with 50 to 60 grit paper first.

Purchase a fiberglass repair kit with the cloth. Make up the resin and hardener at the last, after you have everything ready (wear surgical gloves!!!!!) .Place the cloth in the resin and then transplant onto the repair area...give generous room on all around the crack or missing area. Make sure the cloth is saturated fully, if not add extra resin with a disposable brush (If it is not a disposable brush it will be at the end of this job) regardless of the time it says let it harden overnight and it will be repaired far stronger than it was new. Try to keep it as level as possible so the excess resin cannot run , I have made small dams out of modeling clay to isolate an area.

As we say in the South "This will hold until the Cows come home "

Need to add a PS to this, I was only speaking of repairing the plastic removable panels like this...not the metal car body or undersides
