frequentatore Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I would fix this kind of thing with what have at home. Plastic sheet inside, small rivets, Pattex power epoxy. (I have fixed MTB mudgards by creating aluminum and plastic parts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canthai55 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Try heading down around the Ambassador Hotel. Many boat yards around there. Many boats fibreglass. Should be easy to find someone who can repair it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa al Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 DIY fun: Went down to shop referenced in #3/Johng. √ 1 liter bottle resin, √ small bottle catalyst, √ some glass roving /mat B160 Applied some to fender. Applied more. Not pretty. Will sand and add more later. ////////// When I mixed the first cupful of resin & catalyst, 1/2 way thru the remainder in the cup went off, snap, solid. Tossed it in bin. Minutes later noted fumes/smoke coming off the cup. Added a cup of water to cool things down and the water boiled. Buddha, help me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just the way he sees it. Edit: Back in the early 70's, I came close to setting my apartment on fire. I was using boiled linseed oil on a wood project. Wiped the excess off with tissue or paper towels, balled them up and threw them in the bin in the bathroom. Some hours (a day?) later, smoke was pouring out. The stuff produces a lot of heat as it cures/polymerizes. It's similar to barns burning down from hay that is stored before it's fully dried. Scary.

Polyester goes off and gets smoking hot in the cup. The trick is to get it spread into a thin layer before that happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa al Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 ~Every 10ºC increase in temp doubles the reaction rate. ... they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa al Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 Replaced the mud-guard onto the Climber today. The attach bolts are too short now. Wired it together; 15km single track; worked well. Ugly. ???? //// Have like 700ml resin left. Will transfer ~200ml to small bottle for possible future work. The remaining 500ml maybe catalyse then set down in an open area, to see what happens. Do you think it will flame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa al Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 ...didnt even fume or smoke. 400ml Started setting at 7 min. Got up to max 150C/ 300ºF at ~15 min. If those temp sensor devices work dunno. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
