Default Epoxy/GRP

Mikeinatlanta,

Expansion rates etc, I could probably grind all the epoxy repair and do in polyester, it would result in a much bigger repair area?

I spoke to my car body man, he suggested a good quality body filler over the top like Epifill and such like, if it came through they would address it then!

Rebel 1, you make good sense, as above I wish I had done the repairs in polyester, I built up a flange inside the trunk with epoxy and woven cloth probably 7 layers thick, but I used normal binder matt in the middle layer to take up a bit of room, mind you its all glued and not a structure, one layer hopefully wont make any difference!

One thing about this I will be more aware of material compatibility and not so good way to do things.
