Filler

[jack&mle]

Hi

I'm new in the game or repairing GRP.
I need to make a flat finish on some GRP I've mended.
I was thinking of sending the fibreglass and then use some filler to make a nice plane surface.
Is that a good idea? Can you get black filler?

Thank for your help

Jack

Rather late reply, but here goes. Would be useful to know what the damage was and how you've repaired it. Obviously you've used glass fibre, but you don't say if that's just mat or if you've used tissue on top.

While in France, the boot release mechanism has decided to fall apart.
I had to break some fibre glass to open it.
I've repaired the hole as best as could with the stuff you can get from Halford.
I needed to have a flat surface to fit the new lock mechanism.

I will try later with some filler to make a plane surface which I will paint in black
