fibreglass repair
Bloody wind knocked my bonnet shut and has caused stress cracks. I have always had a misalignment issue, I have now done that and now have to repair this long thin crack, hopefully without messing the paint job up to much. Have just ran a slitting disc along the crack, it appears to be just the gelcoat and paint, Any tips in what to use and way forward? I'm not good with body work, cant weld it and hit it with the big grinder :-) Anyway, do I open the crack width ways so that it has a bevel to fill and what do I use? filler, resin, gelcoat repair stuff? plus any tips on keeping it neat?

Having funny little digs is a term of endearment. When I first went back to work after the brain tumour thing, everyone was so good and walked on egg shells, I felt odd, left out. It didn't last long, before I became the deaf daft tw#t with half a brain. Then I dived over the side and saved someone's life and they dropped the daft bit, for a while :-))

Yep, he was a matelot who was fire watching while we welded, 3am and he just tumbled over the side, reckon he fell asleep. Heard his shouts and just stripped down and went in after him, cold and dark and he was in trouble. Got a commendation and a big meal for that from the Royal Navy.

Nice one Steve. I learned, after many years of going back up BT ladders for things left behind, to check twice for anything that shouldn't be there.
On the bright side, well found that man.

Well pulled the car out in the sun, gave it a wash, and wish I didn't, dissatisfied with the finish, head has dropped, got a bit of a sulk on. Hope it will mop out, looks a bit dry and gritty. Stupid car. Down here it's called artex, or Polperro ripple. :-((
