Best filler for this please. (40 Viewers)

[steve69]

Had a slight prang a while ago. As you can see from the photo, the rear valance corner broke into several pieces which I then heat-stapled back into place like a jigsaw.
Can anyone recommend the best filler to try and smooth the whole thing over & hopefully look better than it currently does?

Ideally, remove the panel, clean it up, use new fibreglass to strengthen and support the inside, covering the whole broken area.

When the damaged area is solid with nothing loose or the move, then fill the outside using straightforward car dent filler, sand and rattle can spray

Take it to a boat repairer, it really wont be too much

You probably want a bumper filler that remains flexible, that looks like it needs taking off and reinforcing from behind first, looks a bit of a job as a diy fix though.

I think something like Isopon P38 that has a glass fibre filler would be best as it will reinforce the cracks as well as filling.

If you remove the lenses you should be able to reinforce without removing the panel

I used a fiberglass kit at the back and I used a plastic filler from halfords on the front

Go down to the local sailing and ask to speak to the local repair guy.
