Fiberglass pits
Does anyone have any sugestions on filling in some pitting on a fiberglass panel? This will be cosmetic only. A freind said just skim coat with bondo but I wonder about flexing and the bondo breaking up. Thanks in advance for any better ideas.

Evercoat makes a flexible polyester glaze designed for just what you're talking about. It's a good product, mixes well, goes on easy and sands without too much clogging of the paper. As far as the flex issue you mentioned, fibreglass doesn't have much give to it, so if that's your real worry, don't, the glass will crack before the chips pop out or something along those lines......
Mind you,, glass doesn't crack all that easy,, I didn't mean to sound like I was scaring you, it's a strong material. lol

I agree with Indy_Gearhead71 the Evercoat glaze is probly the way to go, I peiced together a Corvette Stingray front clip from a bunch of scraps for a customer, I used Duraglass to smooth major imperfections, and did a final skim coat with the glaze, and everything holds up very well. I also suggest any Evercoat product over Bondo, even they're cheapest products seem to have a better quality than bondo's.

http://evercoat.com/productDetail.aspx?pID=29 provided is a link to the glaze on the evercoat page, to give you an idea of what your looking for. Pretty much any autobody supply store will carry this, and you have a good chance that parts stores such as Federated / Bumper to Bumper / Carquest / C.A.P. will carry it as well.

You could also check with a boat dealership if there is one nearby. They work with fiberglass hulls and there is something called gel coat that gives fiberglass that smooth look. Without it, it looks like a fibrous matted pattern. Just a thought.
