Been apprenticing in a bodyshop and the main body guy doesnt explain things too well. You did everything he does and actually explained it very clearly! Many thanks.
Somebody on UA-cam really knows what he's doing! I'm researching a delamination project that I'll be doing soon. Yours looks like a very well done stable repair. It looks to me like Bondo is a good product. This was an easy to follow and logical video. Thank you for generously sharing you expertise.
Man, I feel pretty confident that I can do that myself now, awesome!
Me and my Fiancé bought a 2002 Damon Challenger 348 with 30K miles, earlier this year. We gutted the entire rig and found a few leaks throughout. The passenger mirror was leaking and the awning began to punch a small hole in our fiberglass near the upper trim. Up until now, repairing these issues was a job we’ve been tip-toeing around! I don’t know why it took me so long to find your video, but all I can say is THANK YOU! Other videos just didn’t give us what we needed to in order to do this job with confidence. We’ll be tackling this job this week!
Great that's what it's all about! appreciate taking the time to comment and thank's for supporting the channel!
Love that attention to detail
Thank you!
Very helpful Brother!
This guide helped in a pinch. Thanks for the help!
Your welcome, thanks for watching.
Perfectionist - necessary to make it look right
Awesome video
awesome!
Cheers - helped me enormously.
Please mention that before anyone who is new to sanding fiberglass that they do what you did and wear preferably a respirator. Not good for lungs to breath in the dust. Also goggles and a long sleeve shirt is good too. Fiberglass is nasty to get in not only skin but mucus membranes and cause tissue damage to lungs.
A newbie would not necessarily know this even though you show yourself(or whomever) protected in video, you say nothing about it to the viewers. Not everyone would know this
Other than that, thanks for the demo.
Yes, I will do that
Overall good job looks factory
What about where a small piece has completely separated but you have the piece? It’s about 8” long by 6” wide.
Awesome...you wanna drive over to queen creek arizona to do a small job? J/K
How long do you let the resin/fiberglass and the filler dry between coats?
Good question, I let it cure fully before a second coat depending on the temp about an hour. Sand with 80 grit before the second coat. If you sand the first coat and it doesn't create dust or seems soft then it's not yet cured.
You stopped before the painting process. I wanted to see how you match the paint color and finish. I have a brand new rv that is gel coated and has tiny hole in cap from a hail storm. I am extremely concerned about the dealership repair...trusting how it will look in the end. Any suggestions? Thanks for the video, by the way!
Ther is another video showing the paint process.
Question because I couldn't see in the video,the pieces that were still attached but pushed in did you leave it that way or did you remove them
I ground the loose fiberglass leveled it out as best as possible before applying new fiberglass.
Hi, we just had a bit of an accident with our Prolite trailer. There's a hole about 10 inches long, 3 inches wide and it's right through to the styrofoam. There wasn't much there, as it's an ultralight trailer, but it looks like the layers are Styrofoam, really thin plywood, fiberglass and then a gel coat. My question is, can I just fiberglass up the hole? How would you repair a hole like this?
I would use a little fiberglass matting along with resin. Then a little fiberglass filler to finish
So is the RV painted originally, or gelcoated?
Is the resin you use epoxy or polyester based?
I used fiberglass resin. I used automotive clearcoat for the top coat. Polyester base resin
@@GarageNoise So you used polyester resin. You sanded the surrounding area rough so that the resin-soaked-mat would stick to it. But the surrounding area still had white color (paint?) on it. What I am wondering is if that original white is paint, or gel coat. I want to know if I need to clean the paint off down to the raw fiberglass before glassing to it.
No, you don't need to remove th surrounding paint as long as it's not damaged. Rough up the area around the damage with 80 grit sandpaper or something coarser. I use 80 grit. Its coarse enough to allow the resin and matting to adhere properly.
Would this repair work on an rv shower pan?
If it's fiberglass yes
What kind of filler you used
I use rage ultra body filler. made by evercoat not the cheapest but performs well.
Looks good brotha , do you have an email I can contact you?
Yes ,should be on my page but I'll check
