lanman31337 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Technically the proper way to do it is to cut out any rust and weld or panel bond new metal in. If it's a pinhole, or smaller than a quarter, fill it with fiberglass, let it dry, sand, fill it again, then use a lightweight filler. 2 - Audiopipe AP30001Ds 1 - Lanzar Opti Scion 600.4 4 - Lanzar Optidrive 1232D's 1 - Lanzar Opti 5.1 1 - Lanzar Opti 6.1 1 - Lanzar Opti 6C midbass 1 - Alphasonic PCT6551 1 - Lanzar VX830 1 - JBL 22 band EQ 1 - Lanzar SDBT75NU 1 - AudioControl Epic160 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armoredhaulin Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 i have a hole in my trunk... if i was to clean it up would i fiberglass over the hole? The fiberglass should adhere to the metal without issue as long as is is roughed up really good and cleaned well before the application. "I don't bullshit.

The Performer Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Don't do it. Fiberglass is not meant to adhere to metal AT ALL. If anything, I'd JB weld the hole if it's not too small, or use a patch of metal to JB weld to the hole. That's last resort. Fiberglassing doesn't even make the list of possible solutions, you can either weld a patch on, or JB weld. Again, just don't do it with glass. :01nocomment8so: CERTIFIED BITCHES!!!

pstone11 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 I've never had a problem glassing a piece of metal.. I usually pop - rivit a patch over it after it's nice and clean/rust free.... Then scuff the SHIT out of it, like with a porcupine, then lay a little glass mat patch over it to protect against weather and what-not.
