PR-1: Repair of Fiberglass Guard Rail
Problem:
Fiberglass guard rail is
chipped and is a
safety hazard.
Procedure: Sand and clean the damaged area and ensure it is dry. Apply epoxy
or a catalyzed resin to the damaged area with a putty knife or spatula. Cover the
repair with cellophane and secure it. Allow the repair to cure; then remove the
cellophane and sand the area smooth.
Application:
This procedure can be
routinely used for any
fiberglass component.
Similar procedures can be used for other synthetic components.
Future Inspections: Basically the same as for other deck components.
