Fiberglass repair
I have a small hairline crack on the front cap that I would like to repair. It's right by the corner trim. How do I go about doing it myself? Tku

- If it is a crack they make a fiberglass epoxy that squirts out of a 2 part
syringe that you mix and apply to the area. Before applying you dremal out
the crack a little so it has something to hold on to. It can be puchased
at an auto body shop/parts store type of place.

Tough to, but if it is only one single crack them chances are it is an actual crack. I would take it to a boat place and have them look at it, they deal with that sort of thing all the time.- the usual I read here for cracks is to drill small holes at each end of the crack to stop it from spreading, then address the crack issue.

What has caused the crack is it a stress fracture or damage.
It could be as simple as seal it with some epoxy. - No, I'm not sure. How can you tell? It's a little black line about an inch long that I can feel with my fingernail.
- Are you sure its actually a crack, not just the clear coat?
