Fiberglass Resin

[yamaha]

I will be patching some of the holes in my bed so I can pass inspection. Does anyone have any tips on doing this so it does not look half bad. I talked to the guy at Advance and he suggested using actual fiberglass and the resin. He said it would look better, last longer, and is not as hard to do.

I would assume do the easy things first, clean up all the rust, wash the parts so the fiberglass and resin have something to stick too. He also suggested using wax behing the resin so it wont slop up all over the place. Is there anything else I should know about doing this?

Thanks!

yeah...if you're going for fiberglass and resin, go to a marine shop because they usually sell in bulk and the lesser quantities are cheaper than the auto parts stores...but the easiest way to do it, if you have access to a welder, go get some sheet metal, take the bed off, and weld the metal in from the bottom, it will last about a whole ****ton longer than fiberglass...and if thats the route ya go, cut about an inch or two back from the rust hole so all the oxidised area is gone

I would patch it with metal before using fiberglass.
