Re: Avon rover r28.1

Re: Avon rover r28.1
Matt
Advise I got was
"Make sure it is dry sand it put two fiberglass mat on it some gelcoat"
This was the hole in someone elses, who got it fixed by a pro, but yours should be simpler and doable by youi am not convinced that paste is right stuff tho. Is it smooth paste or got fibres in it?

Hi Matt
That should be pretty straight forward to repair. Clean it up and post some more detailed picks
