Fixing hole in fairing

[Excels1or]

Looking for advice. Put a hole in a lads CTE top cover (plastic). Would the best repair be fiberglass patching? Cheers

Probably best to get an image up as the hole may be 5mm or 500mm!

Fibreglass would work, or if you still have the broken piece you could try using a decent soldering iron and melting it back together. Melting thin rods to tie the two together and black cable ties as a filler. Have done similar with good results. Will your mate be happy with a repair though. I new fairing would be better if the rest is in good nick.

A flat piece of plastic sheet ( ABS or similar ) glued to the inside so that it overlaps the hole then lay the piece that was knocked out onto that and glue that in place . Fill any gaps and prime then paint . Or a quick fix wide gorilla tape .

If you've got the broken piece then this UV cure plastic glue Is probably the neatest option, since I found it I've used it many times👍
