Looking for someone in michigan with fiberglass/carbon fiber repair skills

[superjet0587]

i have a stock superjet hull that has some cracks in the inside of the hull on the ribs and small cracks on the outside. not sure what to do

[SJet]

Can you show us some pic's?

[MADMAT]

I hate to say this because I hated to hear it but ...learn to do it yourself and save huge money and long wait times. It's not that hard and you will know it is done right and then you will know how to do it forever.

If not I think you have a lot of good people up there that can help you. CG, Waterdawg and others. But they are all probably all super busy and I really think you can do it.

[SuperJETT]

freestylegeek may be an option, pm him. Where are you in MI?

[superjet0587]

im in oakland county near pontiac, having a tough time getting pics with bad light in my garage and having the motor in the hull

[superjet0587]

i would like to do the repairs myself and save money but i dont have a clue about how to do it. waht materials do you recommend for repairs and reinforcing

[Island750]

Go to uscomposites.com and look at the stuff on there. To do a repair and reinforce job on an SJ I would look at teh 8.9oz satin weave s2 glass they have and get the 1 gallon resin kit with the medium hardener. Then look at the tech sections on here and follow the resin directions. It shouldn't be too hard or take all that long to do. You can PM me with questions.

Good Luck!!:biggthumpup:

Yea what he said and people will direct you toward pics if you need help. Its like working with peanut butter as far as the resin goes. The grinding and laying the cloth and grinding again and then painting is the biggest part but its not that bad.

CG Racing is in MI he can hook you up.

[Island750]

I have a friend in Ferndale that is going to be doing his ski this winter/spring so let us know, we can maybe crank them both out:arms:

[Hogggman]

I also recommend learning to do it yourself. But at the same time.....it's pretty damn intimidating if you've never done it without someone to help you along. I can understand that.

[superjet0587]

ive decided im gonna do it myself, it should be interesting

[SJet]

I just did a little glass work for the first time. No problem. If you just do a little research before you start you will be fine! Don't forget, if you are laying glass on smc make sure you get epoxy resin!

Good luck

[DLMB12]

I'm sure you'll do fine at it.

[MADMAT]

Keep us posted man!

If you run into trouble or money, have Joe do it. He's the man. Seriously.
