[TowerTalk] Protecting fibreglass spreaders

[Neil Sheldon]

One friend of mine recommended "Bondo" fiberglass resin - manufactured by
3M. It was readily available at car parts stores and wal-mart.

Hi,



I need to coat the spreader arms of my quad. Options for coverings are
limited to what I can source here in Thailand. I can buy polyurethane finish
but even the exterior grade ones I have seen are marked for wood and I'm not
sure if direct application to fibreglass would be appropriate. I am not
averse to coloured spreaders so would paint them if that would be a better
alternative. Should I then choose enamel, acrylic or some other type of
paint?



Particular brand or trade names are not much help as they are either not
available here or have different names! What about a coating of fibreglass
resin?



Would a better option be to wrap the spreaders in pvc tape or heatshrink
tubing?



Ideas?



Thanks,

Martin, HS0ZED
