The incessant and wholly unnecessary background noise is what makes an otherwise good video into a dreadful one. If, as you have said in another comment, you need to mask radio sound, get some bluetooth earphones and leave us with the sound of you working. I might then be more inclined to subscribe.

Yea he’s the best! Learning lots from my dad

Hi guys, just came across your channel and enjoyed very much what l saw. Superb job on the repair. I honestly thought; that looking at the state of it at the beginning, that you would have serious problems getting the job done. Great to watch you going through each stage and explaining everything. ❤🇦🇺

[@tjvalleygarage]

@@paul4124 thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! 👋

[@brettmat8868]

Nice repair. What is the indicative cost of this sort of job?

[@tjvalleygarage]

This one was around $1500 CAD in the end

Fantastic job ! 👍🏻😎👍🏻

Thanks, appreciate it! 👍

Great repair. Standard accident damage as 'car' drivers forget how long it is AND turn too quick when close to walls, but your there to fix 'em a quick as they line up!

[@here2pissuoff-ho1bj]

Nice two tone paint job

[@johnkaimins9998]

Great to see this standard of work and attention to detail ~ pity that the interior of the panel was not masked off to prevent overspray to the wiring loom.

[@daleaxe1030]

Great job you guys lovey 🎉

My pal that works with glass uses a small specific metal roller for repairs. When acetone can't clean it enough,he just sticks in a metal can and sets on fire so the roller continues to roll again. For fill in patches, he uses a brown premix fiberglass-muck which he nicknamed " monkey snot" years ago. He's used that on Corvettes,PWC,boats and yachts, etc for decades.

[@tjvalleygarage]

That’s hilarious 😂 we use “kitty hair filler” which is probably similar to “monkey snot”. We also use rollers especially when fabricating fibreglass parts in a mold

[@dmcnamara9859]

Rollers for sure. He has a fleet of Waverunners as Rentals. He actually makes more money on them when customers damage them quite often. Plastic wrap to pop molds off good hulls and for the area PWC/Boat New outlets that he does jobber repairs for. When new/evolved hulls come out,he is always making new molds. He's been doing Glass work before/after he graduated from a University in 1970s; originally as a way to finance his social life then.

[@philstevens9914]

I would have removed that whole panel to give better access to the inside to strengthen it before tackling the outer repair. Decent job in the end.

[@tjvalleygarage]

@@philstevens9914 yea that would have been nice to do but it would have costed the customer more for labour. They just wanted it to cosmetically look better 👍

[@philstevens9914]

@@tjvalleygarage Different story when it's on the clock and your dealing with some tight arsed freemason that wants to do it on the cheap! 🙂

[@garyjarvis2730]

Nice repair on an old tub of an RV. It needs all new graphics as the sun has chewed up what's there. Not many shops would even play around with this as it can be a can of worms.

[@malcolm6951]

Is that an MGB on the ramp behind you guys?

[@tjvalleygarage]

Indeed it is! You’re the first person to notice haha

[@theessexhunter1305]

Nice, there are DA's sanding blocks that have extraction of their own

[@tjvalleygarage]

@@theessexhunter1305 yea we need to invest in something like that for the future 👍

The problem now is that that corner looks better than the rest of the RV! l🤣

[@tjvalleygarage]

Yea we were thinking that too 😅

how much does a repair like that cost?

@tjvalleygarage it is a fair bit of work for sure.....nice job!

Why not wash it outside?

Our pressure washer won’t reach far enough lol

[@kingtut5923]

do you really need the bs music

[@tjvalleygarage]

@@kingtut5923 kinda, mostly because we always have our radio going in the background and I don’t want to get copyrighted so i put in my own, but I’m always working on improving 👍

Back ground sound is trash, I will not subscribe.

[@olivier2553]

It looks interesting, but the music is killing it. Sorry I cannot watch anynmore.

[@Arbe1945]

The music is interfering with the subtitles and that is annoying as I want to know about the repair and not have to put up with music.

[@Hawkglow]

Just emailed you to look for a collab🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@DKAB66]

Why aren’t you doing the work and your dad doing the filming?

[@tjvalleygarage]

Mainly because this was a pretty specialized repair and my dad has more experience in doing it. Plus it was for a customer and we were on a time crunch

[@derekferguson385]

Oh god! That music is grim. Had to mute it.

[@frundlemud]

It would sound more professional if you were not punctuating his excellent explanation like some naughty schoolboy.

[@bertjetolberg103]

Big thumb down for the filming, editing, talking, but mostly for the loud annoying noise (music i guess)

[@Tivver]

Please lose the rubbish music!

[@brianhume4743]

Yes sir,

[@teitnielsen9771]

Please spare us from the insanely annoying music

[@aglsports2]

What is with the music? Annoying to say the least. Just stop with the music. PLEASE!

Stop with the stupid music.
