I'm repairing a fibreglass engine cover for a friend of mine. Something fell on it and gave it a pretty good bash. The repair area isn't too big but the housing is smashed with a lot of that fibrestrand stuff sticking out of the worst part, and some cracking away from that area. I've worked with fibreglass before and what I want to do is start on the inside with a patch of mat and resin, then later move to the outside, get rid of some of the loose stuff, and then lay in mat and resin in successive layers. Finally, I'll use a little surface filler (Bondo) and finish it up. My questions are: (1) Am I going about this correctly? (2) Should I be using the woven mat or the random-strand mat? I was thinking maybe the woven mat on the inside for maximum strength, then the random-strand stuff on the outside since I find it a bit more forgiving to work with.
