What kind of attachment and compound for the DA polisher / sander ? Thank you in advance.

What sandpaper you would recommend if I don’t have the scuff pad?

Great job

Would you recommend using a hardner?

Lol, I did that ~7 years ago, but I had big holes to fill after I removed the nasty. Fiperglass is too flexible to cover large holes, so my base layer was a PBR box! I coated it with resin on both sides for weather protection, then 2 lyers of 'glass, and after the resin cured I sprayed undercoating outside & brushed Rustoleum inside. Lasted (at least) until death of my XJ when it got t-boned 😢 other than the missing passeger side floorboard it was rust free!

Barney Rubble once did this to Fred Flinstone's car. Afterwards, he wasn't able to go anywhere 😂😅

Good video thank you

Great video. Would you ever use a die grinder with a sanding disc on it for those tricky to sand spots, or would you typically stick with the sanding blocks?

Why ? Just buy a welder and it would be less mess , less filler, less paint .

Does no one supply decent rust protection coatings ? Over in the UK cars dont seem to rust like they used to, although one brand of pick up truck rotted out its chassis rails in a few years, the company bought them all back and cut them in half then sent them for scrap ,yet a few garages, old school made jigs and repaired the chassis frames and made them stronger

That's what I call the Corvette repair! Looks great!

Great video Jerry, is this on the amx? Or something else

This might be my solution.

I'm new to Welding this is great!!!!

Great tutorial, I'm working on a 1994 Camaro V6 this will help me a lot :)

yeah those welds don't look good go back and do it right

I have the same welder and welding patch panels 18 gauge i am set at 2 for wire speed and max letting the wire out about an inch ive gotten pretty good- not seeing a need to drop a grand on a new welder

Before mig welders were so common in home garages, this was our best option for rust repair. My failures were always due to improper prep. That mechanical bond is crucial. And clean metal can be too smooth without prepwork.

I'm odd in that like you I do rust repair & mechanical repairs - most don't. Rust repair is the toughest gig going, it's why few want to do it - it's pretty horrendous work most of the time if you do it as a profession, daily. Coal mining would be easier. Caveat to that is most mechanical repairs are like a holiday in comparison to repairing rust. Stuff mechanics whinge & moan about are like days off to me tbh - not drowning in fumes, dust, dirt, not jammed in under some vehicle, 1" from the blazing arc getting burnt from head to toe, in a space people would laugh at if you asked them to crawl into. Every diagnostic or mechanical repair task is a doddle by comparison - even the ones no garage wants to do. I know you will get that, where most won't have a clue wtf I am on about.

Thank you sir 🙏

Thank you sir 🙏

I always love your work.

What would you say the limit is on hole size for fiberglass to work?

I just used a two and one epoxy mix for my floorpans and it worked like a charm

I enjoy these videos way too much :D

I once did the whole floor in the van section of a 1970 Ford class c RV that was owned by my boss. Epoxy or polyester resin? Either way it'll be as solid as a welded in metal patch. That RV was still being used till about ten years ago. Nice job!

Look great I will try it.

Thank you. I have learned something new here.

You didn’t get rid Of The rust

I’ve gotta see how much floor is missing!

That came out really good!….. can you use fiberglass on lower doors as well?

that will work just fine buddy ,just learned something good again , cancel that floor panel boss I got this .

What are you thinking for undercoat? Raptor liner w/epoxy base is sounding pretty bulletproof. 👍Thanks for the great content Jerry.

I live in Montreal. Did the same job on my old Mazda protégé 2001. I went for a mandatory inspection (SAAQ in Québec = DOT in USA) and it did NOT pass. I was told that fiber glass can NOT replace metal ( for the car floor ).

Hi Jerry, Great video. I know you done a video with JB weld. My questions are 1. Does the fiberglass over metal withstand the vibration and etc. 2. Just wondering if resin on the fiber more stronger or JB weld over the fiber?

Nice job

always wanted to know how to use fiberglass......it looks simpler than i thought......may need to use it someday......thanks

ok

That’s a good repair for problem areas that will be there long after we’re gone. Thank for the shout out Jerry. Have a great weekend

Hi Jerry, why MEK? Is that instead of hardener?

Another good one jerry. Thanks.

Nice work, that can out really well. 🛠️😁👍

I can use your other videos to guide me with welding but this would be great for a lot of people, Thanks Jerry

OK, I figured out to do same on our W200, but my concern is to get access w/o removing the front fender of my car. About this vid' : didnt you treat the inside of the rotten metal ?

Look's great Jerry , regards from Scotland .👍

Great video Jerry. I have done these kind of repairs in the past. Was told by someone that this was not proper as fiberglass will not stick to metal ? Seems to stick fairly well I think.

Greg has a great channel as well, thats a great shout out Jerry,have a great weekend, drink 3fer me

Do you have any guidelines when fiber resin is preferred over metal work? Where does it work well? Where is it a no go? Thanks

Ah, JFC...another Bondo Bandit/Fiberglass F*ckwad. Unsubscribed.

Thanks
