===Surface preparation=== The first step it to try and maximise the access to the site you are attempting to repair. Some repairs can only be performed with the clam removed. [[Remove S2 front clamshell]] The area that has been damaged may extend further than the surface damage would suggest. The area around the damage needs to be removed. The fastest way is to use an electric grinding tool such as a dremmel so carefully file back the broken fibre glass. A shallow wedged edge should be created around the damage to give a larger surface for the repair to bond to. chemicals acetone Working in confined areas such inside the boot can be awkward. One method to make life easier is to prepare the fibreglass and resin on top of a sandwich bag on a flat surface and then use it like a glove to transfer apply the fibreglass and then to smooth it into position.
