A quick online search makes it seem like a fibreglass repair kit can fix anything. While DIY kits have their place, elevated work platforms demand a higher standard.
Let’s break it down.
What a Fibreglass Repair Kit Usually Contains
A standard fibreglass repair kit includes:
- Fibreglass resin and hardener
- Reinforcement matting
