Repair Planning

Thickness Measurement

Measure the substrate to determine the repair thickness and repair bevel

 

3 measurements of 3.02, 3.48, and 3.83 show and avg. of 3.44mm

Repair Planning

  • Mark the perimeter of the repair

  • Bevel the repair out to the marked area

PROPER bevel

  • Mark the perimeter of the repair

  • Bevel the repair out to the marked area

Fiberglass Planning

  • Determine the sizes of the repair mat needed

  • Clean the repair area with acetone

  • Mask off the area to help keep the repair area confined

Tech Tip: 3.44mm average thickness divided by the avg thickness of mat (.75mm) equals 4.5 layers.
This repair will require 4 layers to allow room for filler and gel coat
