were can i get clear fiberglass resin from ?
i need to repair my wifes caravan, as i , yes me! have dinged the front panel on next doors fence.
The panel is not badly damaged (shame i hear you all cry) but does need a fiberglass resin /top coat skim, and polish
My idea was to mix some clear resin with a cream humbrol paint of similar colour to fill the damaged area
And yes she does know! but its currently 1-1 as she has spilt beetroot on the green carpet, and that does not look as though it
will come out

Why not use lactate gelcoat filler I have in the past and it's pretty good and you can add pigment and polishes up to a gloss.

East Cost Fibreglass Supplies will have what you need. Oh, and use the correct resin pigments otherwise
it'll probably never set properly and look awful.

Most, if not all, Boat Chandlers do small tubes of gelcoat repair in a tube, you can get various colours, and I know that you can get cream. HTH Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

Sounds like a job for some flowcoat and pigment mix. If you use gelcoat it only sets in the absense of air whereas flowcoat will set nicely as a
"top" surface.
