Thank you for doing this. I found another video you did that has voice so products are noted. In this video, you use: 1. Bondo fiberglass resin and mat 2. the brown stuff - looks like 3 coats. question 1 - is the brown stuff the Bondo Glass? question 2 - in a different video with the voice and products, you had a 3rd step/product of the Bondo All-Purpose Putty. You have that listed as a product in this description, but I didn't see you use it. Does the Bondo All-Purpose Putty need to be used also, or is the fiberglass resin and glass enough? I have a 2 inch hole in a custom therapy fiberglass pool - we are removing a jet that keeps leaking and filling the hole like you show in this video. step 1 - the fiberglass resin and mat is needed structurally. But then, I am unsure on the glass and putty. question 3 - what does the Bondo glass do? and what does the all-purpose putty do? Thank you in advance and I hope you will reply.

Great job. But I would like to mention you only use/need like 8 of these items on your list to actually patch the hole(not talking about PPE and the fan). Seems like like you're adding extras to make more money off the links. Aside from PPE and the fan, you need: 1.sandpaper (or an electric sander if you want to speed up the job by 20 minutes) 2.fiber resin 3.bondo putty 4.fiberglass cloth 5.any cup/vessel that can stand up to solvents 6.Old paint brush 7.Special spray paint. 8.Something to spread evenly with Even with PPE that's like 14 out of the 23 you posted links for. But, I digress, you did do a great job and I appreciate the show.

I`ve just fitted a new bath. I wasn`t sure how solid it should be so have gone way over the top. Even wooden supports underneath and bracing on the wooden horizontal supports. Tons of glue and mastic round it. It`s going nowhere! Now we find that on filling the bath it has dozens of tiny holes in the fibreglass near the plug which are leaking through to the floor. My worry had been my plumbing leaking, not the damn bath. They are too small to notice until they leaked. The shop have offered us a replacement. It would ruin two weeks work to take it out so will try to fix myself. (Just a warning for anyone buying a new bath).
