Application

1. Degrease the repair area and sand it with a coarse grit (approx. 60 grit).
2. Cut holes and cracks into a V-shape so that the new laminate blends in harmoniously.
3. Cut the fiberglass matting into suitable strips depending on the size of the repair (10 cm → 15 cm → larger).
4. Thoroughly mix the resin with 2–3 % BPO hardener.
5. Lay the first matting layer, soak it with resin, and tap out air bubbles with the brush.
6. Apply further layers until the repair laminate is approx. 10 % stronger than the original.
7. Alternatively, pre-soak the resin and fiberglass matting on a film and stick it on as a "patch".
8. Remove the film after approx. 15 minutes.
9. Subsequently smooth the repair area with topcoat or polyester filler.
