[This post is for you Nick, I owe you dinner/drinks] I applied 5 coats of Plasti-mend with a layer of webbing.  It’s sanded and probably as good as it’s gonna get, which is not even close to an even finish, but there are no cracks!  I’ll paint it next week with similar paint as the other pieces (can’t find the Tubby USA site).  A couple of things I learned:

• I think the product needed to be thinned, it was more like taffy.  You can order the thinner at the same site.
• I sanded off the my failed fiberglass repair on the front surface, but left the repair in the back since it was holding it together.  Since this stuff chemically melds with the ABS plastic, the surface warped in funny ways where the fiberglass was still on in back.  Part of the reason I can’t sand it as even as I would like.

With some paint, it will be fine until I can find a new one.
