    Great time to learn how to do fiberglass.

    It's easy, albeit very messy. Most times the repair is done from the back side of the plastics.
    Rough it up with sand paper, (back side) Tape front side to keep resin from leaking to front side.
    Cut glass to shape, dip in mixed resin and apply.
    Let setup and repeat if needed. Get disposable containers and nitrile gloves along with paint stirrers.
    Once done pull front side tape, any depressions fill with resin.

    Once built up, sand down start with 120 to get close then 200, 400, 600, 1200 then paint.

    While doing this, look for stress crack's from weak points and reinforce with glass. .
