repair advice for fibreglass rear wing

Recommended Posts

Last session on a drying track (last sprint run) I was a little optimistic with my entry speed and didn't fall off but did clatter a cone.

I have a smack right on the top middle part of the wing however no cracks so I think it just needs to be filled and sprayed black.

Any advice on techniques/guides and filler greatly received :)

Hi Steve

If there is no crack then you dont need the glass matting. Presumably you have star cracks in the gel coat. I would dig these out/widen them so the filler has somewhere to go and something to grip, then use a filler like Isopon P38. 

Preparation is the key before paintng so lots of sanding etc before you get it right, no doubt, then undercoats & finally top coats, you might well want to do whole wing to get it blended OK. 

Good luck
