Mango Fibreglass repairs

Thanks to crap Brisbane gutters and ramps, the Mango sometimes bottoms out on the underneath side. One particularly hard ding actually cracked the shell near the foothole, it went through to the fibreglass beneath. Never having had any experience with fibreglass repairs, I spent quite a bit of time checking out YouTube videos, so with computer on one hand and the required hardware at hand, I set out to try and make the repairs.



There were some other cracks of a cosmetic nature that I took the opportunity to repair as well.


 The crack near the foothole require some layers of fibreglass sheet to be laid down prior to repairing the gelcoat.



 The final result, while not brilliant, will do-it will hardly be seen as it is well out of view.

Not a bad result overall!
