Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I used Sikaflex, first making a bed of it to firmly press the mesh into, then once it had forced its way through the gaps, went round with a thin bead over the top of the bond line and carefully smeared the two together - a bit like thickly buttering bread. Even now that bonnet now kicks around behind the shed getting blown here there and everywhere, the mesh never went AWOL or came away in ten years.

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Oh and prise of the month for oldest thread resurrection! well done that man! :d (Seriously, it's great to see someone digging way back for answers, and always worth checking they're still relevant and haven't been replaced by newer, better ideas).

Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 dobs of sikaflex then push on - use some gaffa tape to hold in place whilst it dries works well IMO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyonspride Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 How about a tube of fibreglass marine/boat repair filler? I used the stuff to fix a crack in my bath, it's basically resin+gelcoat and cures to hard acrylic. Seeing as it's what the bonnet is made of, I reckon it'd form a stronger bond than anything else.
