awe come on Mulv, I'm Mr. non-skilled at fiberglass but from what I can see this is about the easiest thing to fix that is fiberglass related....and just think - we would all bow to you once you are the fiberglass king

All you need is a lot of resin, some cloth, some really heavy stuff like buckets of water, batteries, MJ's wallet, etc.

You got this man. Do it do it do it do it do it!!!

I agree that glassing is the cheapest way and you really can't mess it up!! In my first post I linked him to someones thread showing them doing the glass.

But he was asking about Seaboard so I was telling him that it will work fine.

Heres the reasoning for the Seaboard. I currrently have a piece of plywood covering the small hatch in my floor, so I need a better solution there. My current fuel tank cover has a lot of cracks so I really don't want to just recore. And the final reason: I have a 14ft fiberglass skiff that has a 30" square cover over the middle seat. Well I had the cover in the back of my pick up 2 weeks ago and forgot to close the tailgate. Well needless to say it slid out the back of my truck and got rode over about a 1000 times before I realized it had fallen out. Also I figure I'll have about a half of sheet left after I do everything I need to do. I could double it up and use 2 pieces for a pullpit, and I'm sure I can find a use for the rest.

I think I have finally convinced myself, I'm going to order it tomorrow. i just need to decide on a color.

or maybe if you are nice to MJ he will wrap it in leather and latex for you

5200 doesn't bond well to the starboard, seaboard whateveryoucallit - ask me how I know.

How will you seal around the new fuel cover to keep water out if you go this route?

Mulv80 · #17 03-11-2008, 04:01 PM

Blue, I was planning on using 3-M 4200. I also heard that Starboard/Seaboard is not easily bonded together with adhesive. i have heard however that 3M 4200 or 5200 will work fine for a seal.

If you screw it down real good and tight, I am sure the seal will be fine. You are not trying to bond anything just seal it.
