@misselanys12192 жыл бұрын
I would have removed the painters tape as soon as i filled the holes and smoothed down with the plastic bag squares while the epoxy was still wet then let it dry then put fresh painters tape down again and started sanding. This way you are protecting the surrounding fiberglass from scratching and not having to struggle with trying to peel off painters tape essentially plastered to the surrounding wall. Using different grit sandpaper is the way to go . I do drywall hole fills and have it down to a science using that same grit change technique. Now I will use the tape trick too! Great video!!!!

Suggestion for next time you fill holes: put the toothpick in & break/cut it off so it fills the hole better and gives the epoxy something to go against & use a smaller brush (maybe similar to a nail polish brush) to put it on in thinner coats to see if that helps it apply more evenly to avoid having to do as much sanding. I liked the plastic bag technique for flattening. I saw another video where the patch job looked horrible because the epoxy dripped all over, but this ended up looking good.

Great video but if the hole is any larger than the one you are showing (which is quite tiny) it ain't that easy. I had 6 holes (removed glass door) each about 1/2" diameter from Molly bolts. Too small for that cloth they included and way too large just to cover. I first filled the holes with "GreatStuff" expanding foam to about 1/64" inch below the hole but it was still virtually impossible on all but 1 to get the patch to fully fill the hole. The epoxy is just way too runny. Even tried a second package which was able to level 2 more holes but no luck with the rest. I waited a bit longer on the second coat for it to thicken a bit but that didn't help. Bottom line: For very small screw sized holes it's probably great. Anything bigger, find a different type of epoxy that doesn't run so much. Also, the sanding scratches the finish of the area around the hole. NO WAY to avoid that because the tape eventually has to be removed to blend the epoxy to the enclosure.

The two part epoxy did not completely open up between the upper and lower packets and the Almond kid was not at all fluid enough to add to the mixture; it was like paste and the only way for me to mix it was to stick the brush into the pouch and try to mix it.

If you could get someone else to help they could put the plastic on and start tapping to make sure the finish is smooth and no air bubbles are trapped while you move to the next hole.
