Greg, Ask a body shop supply company for Corvette Panel Adhesive, An epoxy material that has the same sanding characteristics as the fiberglass body panels and bumper covers is best for the finish. Use short strand fiberglass patch for structural reinforcement. Also use a scrap bumper/panel pieces to back up the crack or damaged area by 1/2" overlap, just glue on with the panel adhesive. If the damaged area is contoured, either use a similar contour from scrap, or use the short strand fiberglass filler. I cut the piece to shape with a Dremel and the cut off wheel. Sincerely, Mark Keller |
