i done alot of this work i done it with fiber gell and mat. i think your vett is smc .epoxy as said will work to with silica . the west system work s .do not use vett bond for this repair .you can clean out the spots with a grinder and i sand blasted it to seams to work good . i like to work the repair spot out as far as 2x the spot so i can get a good build up mat . work small pices of mat in the spots and work out like dave said till your abit hirer then panle .in the back is all open you can lay up some spots from the back side then open up from the out side i used a 8 inch soft pad with 40 or 36 for a good tooth till you just break thru the old panle then lay up the mat that way you have a inside and out side repair that will hold much better .i work on vettes but have done many of the flip hoods for semi s were some were deer hits and some like a droped hard boiled egg them i sand blasted . post heat if you can if smc may be good to it will not hurtLast edited by pat mccarthy; 05-23-2010 at 07:54 PM.
