peeling gel coat

#1 Post by FlyingKiwi » Sat Dec 22, 2007 10:24 pm

Hi all, I need to repair some of my damaged accessories before fitting them to the new ride.
My carbon fibre hugger is in one piece but where it has badly flexed the gelcoat is peeling and come away from the CF.
Any suggestions on a fix?
I don't really wanna buy another one

The carbon fibre tail unit I had on the Blackbird had the same problem, sadly it couldn't be fixed, something to do with vibration re-opening the layer. :smt012
