super glue work with fibreglass matting ?
Yes. But its not as good as polyester.
You can tack the mat in with CA, but do use polyester or epoxy to 'fill
the mat'
I would not recommend CA for water use either...I am not sure it doesn't
soften in soaking.
Thanks for the info everybody. Will try the matting and maybe a thin
veneer to cover it all up.
p.s. Did some more research - CA glue is water activated polymer and
waterproof.
However its strength and appearance seems to change when wet..
