I figured so, just wanted to make sure cause the directions say to lay it in top of the hole, using a rust hole as the example on the container.
get the whole cloth wet by dipping the entire thing in the mixture.when it drys it gets really hard and stiff and thats what you want.
dip it? Maybe I was looking at the wrong type of kit but it says to brush on the mixture and it looks pretty thick, almost like a paste. Am I tripping or will the mixture be kinda watery?
if you get any resin anywhere it'll sand right off.
whew! Im bound to get it where it doesn't belong
h:
you might have to smooth out and trim the fiberglass with a dremel and some sand paper once its dry too.
Speaking of a dremel, I am having the time of my life finding the reinforced cut off wheels for it:angry: I ended up using some wire cutters and a soldering iron to cut the grill last night
h: But it worked good, just took a little longer that it probably should have.
also while its drying make sure the part at the hole doesnt bend into it, try to keep it flat there.
I was wondering about that too. I think what im gonna do is lay the glass down, then install the grill back to the black bracket and set it down right side up, that way if it bulges out a bit, the bracket will already be on so I won't have any gaps between the grill and the bracket thanks to a hardened, bulging glass job.
