Box flares, I assume?
In reply to David S. Wallens :
Actually, a set similar to the Mk I Ford Escort "bubble flares" would be ideal. But, feel free to make whatever your heart desires.
Fiberglass repair is my dayjob, but very different techniques than this. If your surfboard's broken, come on by.
This is a great skill to learn. Handy for track side repairs which may mean the difference between racing or packing up and heading home. My E36 got tagged during a NASA Championship race but a trip to HD and a fiberglass repair kit enabled us to have it fixed up for the big race the next day. Finished on the podium after a long night of work on the car.
For track side repairs fiberglass resin gel is your friend. It works well on vertical surfaces (won't sag and drip).
That's exactly how I do my fiberglass repairs, except I don't use any gel coat. Aluminum flashing repair packs from Home Depot work well as backing material and race day repairs.
