Learning about Fiberglass?
Fiberglass repair can be extremely difficult to perform correctly. This is because fiberglass is a weak material and can crack easily under pressure. If you’re driving a car made of fiberglass, you have to be extremely careful because if your car gets hit the big dent can crack and spread throughout the rest of the car. This is the reason why many cars produced today do not have any fiberglass in them thankfully Fixing fiberglass is a long and drawn out process. The recovery process on a dent or crack on a fiberglass automobile begins with a crack being brought together and having fiberglass mold spread across the dent or crack. If the dent or crack is too severe and large it might be better to just buy a new section of fiberglass and install it on your automobile. However, if the crack is not too large, continue to spread the fiberglass mold across the crack or dent carefully. Let the mold sit for a few hours and remember the fiberglass repair is a long process that requires patience, perseverance and skill. If you are not sure you can do this please take your vehicle to reputable and skilled fiberglass automobile repairman. If you make a mistake during the initial phase of the restoration you’ll have to start all over again. This will cost a lot of time and money and you will likely end up frustrated and giving up. So if you are unsure about your abilities as a fiberglass repairman please find someone who can do the correct job. Don’t be upset if you cannot handle the fiberglass repair process. It takes years of practice and lots of money to become proficient at this profession. Fortunately, once the fiberglass is correctly fixed there is nothing to worry about. The good thing about fiberglass is that it is resistant to weather such as rain and sleet or strong winds. The unfortunate thing is, if you get in an automobile accident and receive a crack or dent it will without a doubt spread to the rest of the car. So you need to be aware of that if somebody hits you.

Is there anyway to temporarily repair cracks on fiberglass pool steps with water still in the pool?
If your crack is losing water, chewing gum works well (seriously), it will adhere under the water, and flexes with the crack when bathers put their weight on the step, then the chewing gum will reseal itself until you are able to repair the crack properly. Underwater epoxy can also be used, but gum is cheaper, and flexes whereby the underwater epoxy hardens and doesn't flex. Pool StepSpecialists.com has kits for fiberglass pool steps. Remember to chew the gum first, then push it into the crack(s)
