chinny Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 Not gonna get away with just painting the bottom with all these pock marks.😥 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinny Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 Stitched splits back together with staples and soldering iron,deep scrapes were filled with molten plastic as i find using fibreglass filler tends to crack and start lifting after a short period. Still have some "dings" that are showing that i can live with. Put in front of the burner to bake at gas mk9. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
