First time body work

[Bigza]

wuz up, all. After noticing a crack in the front light to right mirror, area of my fairing. I removed the right fairing to check out the crack. Serpriseingly, the fairing was previously repaired. I didn't take pic's of the cracked peice, but i do have pic's of the fairing, after i sanded the area of repair, and put loctite liquid metal filler & sealer on. I know the filler is not what's been refered on this site, so if any1 hav an knowledge of this product being used for repairs, your input would be appreciated. ok here's the pic's, advise welcomed

its brittle and will break,

use a flexable epoxy like permatex plasic weld

back to the begainning

ok u were right. Liquid metal was 2 stiff, it recracked. i'll go with the epoxy for sure now.

be sure to v or U notch the crack, don't just put it over top.
its a little more work but when you are done it will be just as strong as new...

By the way, please be advised that the Permatex stuff has a wretched smell. I was like Wohhhhhhh!!!! I used on my fairing and windscreen repairs. I am waiting on my left fairing to finish up the bodywork. Started with 80grit for adhesive, then 180 and now going to 320 filler primer and then 400 wetsand and lay paint down. Hardly I am going to follow you and rattle can it with Dupli-Color. Your work truly inspired me.
