Asked by Glenn B - Fri Feb 9 06:54:21 2007 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments
A. 50/50 is what the commercial repair kits use but cyanoacrylate injection alone works really well, with small bullseye type damage.

A. You may want to contact a Vita Spa dealer near you ( and try and get the repair covered under warranty. They have a lifetime warranty on the shel against loss of water dur to manufacturing defects. I the fiberglass has delaminated on its own then that would seem to indicate a manufacturing defect. If you are not the original purchaser then they may not honor the warranty, but that would be my first step to try. If you want to fix it yourself then you should be able to find fiberglass repair materials at a marine supply store like West Marine ( They have stores all over the US and Canada and can ship some of the materials.

A. polymer resin (fiberglass), will heat up and crack , because it's characteristics are oil based (plastic) they usually can take some heat , but it will dry up and crack. and needs a housing around any heat sources , to stop this , you will need some 1/2mm plate to cover the holes , either pop riviting the baffler , and welding the exaust , or covering holes with plate , pop riviting , and welding

I've just crashed my motorbike. How can I repair the fibreglass bits?
Q. The bike concerned is a ratty track bike with a race fairing (silly tumble on a wet Cadwell Park track). I'm not after a perfect finish, I'm just trying to keep the existing fairing in service for as long as possible. Damage is only slight, and has worn through the fairing in a couple of places, but not torn it or broken it. I've looked for hints on the internet, but all I can find seems to be high-tech stuff for structural pieces. What I need is an idiot's guide to a very basic fibreglass repair, starting with where I get the glass fibre, and the epoxy resin (if indeed they are the right things to use), and finishing with how to achieve a half-decent finish on the repaired fairing, and what sort of paint to use on it.

A. Well you can get fibre glass sheets which are thin enough to mould and cut to the shape of the fairing from halfords, it is made by Holts i believe, they make all the putty and resin stuff just for doing that kind of repair. Basically you cut it to shape then pour the resin in a bowl a little at a time add the hardenerstir then coat the fibreglass with the mixture (wear glove and do this in the open or you will be high as a kite on the fumes,) it is as if you are doing papier mache but if you do this in layers untill you are happy with the strength of it ( making sure you let it dry properly on a hot day 1 and a half hours maybe 2 hrs to go proper hard then sand it a little and paint, heres is a tip make sure you reinforce where the holes… [cont.]

Q. The leak is on the raised seam that runs around the perimeter of the circular tank at the half way point between the gound it sits on, and the top of the tank. Since it is full the water keeps coming - not at a lot of pressure more of a trickle. Will I be able to use a regular fibre glass repair kit with resin and matting?

A. I don't think that epoxy resin will adhere to a wet surface. If you partially drain the tank to the point where the drip stops, you could probably use a fiberglass repair kit after the tank has dried. If you can't drain the tank, you may be able to temporarily stop the leak using a product like Henry Wet Patch Roof Cement:
