OK I have a silly question. Can you apply plastidip to the inner exposed fiberglass of the lip for added reinforcement?

It is the new duct tape, after all.

I think that Bondo would be a good choice for reinforcing fiberglass.

doing great, mr.mu.

hope your day goes by real quick.

TGIF to you.

you can, but im not sure if that adds any reinforcement. if you are worried about the fiberglass coming apart at the edges, i usually take a swab and put paint along the edge. i do this often with CF just to lock-down the fibers so moisture does not get inside the epoxy.

i use generic black enamel i have left over for that.

..or..if you're worried the plasti dip might peel back on its own from the edges, i'd add primer along the edge and inside to maybe 1" width. ive not plastidipped a big piece so dont know for sure, but that's wat i would do if i was going to use plastidip.

honestly though, my paint of choice would be that duplicolor engine enamel i mentioned earlier for matte black finish. it comes out quite even and flat and nice.

I'm probably talking jar up on his spray paint offer. I read about the Plasti dip primer being permanent.

we would think the void in their head would keep taffyapples afloat.

thanks, ms.bc.

plastidip wouldn't provide any measurable amount of reinforcement.. not at all
