Novice fiberglass repair

[Wampuscat]

I had a blind get blown over in high winds back in February. Had a few good cracks and some old rough spots that needed attention. I am by no means a fiberglass repairman, as this is my first go at it in over 39 years.

There are some ugly spots where air bubbles got under the fabric…I guess. Wondering if I should worry with grinding down these spots with a flapper disk and adding more fabric and resin? Or just throw a few coats of paint on it and get my blind out to the new Honey Island lease? I can always make some field repairs using a battery grinder later on if I need to.

It's a deer blind so it is more about function than it is looks. I think you are good to go. If it leaks or cracks again worry about it then.

I guarantee the deer won’t mind.

I’d leave them alone but if you do decide they are too ugly then just grind the bubbles out and add resin. No real need for more fabric. I’ve been playing with glass this past year some. Really amazing all you can do with it.

Leave it alone
It will serve it’s purpose

Gonna go with a few coats of paint and getting the in the air, and that’s my final answer.

ya know, not saying you should, but if you have concerns you can always shoot it down with.... whatever that diy version of lineX is. Forms a nice waterproof cover over it and will protect it from breaking down from the sun and whatever if that's a concern.
