Well that's what I was afraid of......mixed thoughts on whether it could be done successfully or not. The customer is set on using the glass scoop on a steel hood, and he wants it blended in (molded in) to the hood. I have read for several days and I am still not sure what to do. I think the panel adhesive would be the best option, but I still have read where that fails and cracks at some point in the future also. I hate doing stuff like this. I am used to doing repairs and returning work that I don't have to worry about
What are you guys thoughts on this process, the hood is already in epoxy after being blasted, so block and recoat with fresh epoxy, feather the edges of the scoop to minimize the thickness of the filler needed to blend the scoop in, then use the panel adhesive to secured the scoop, after the adhesive has cured, use filler (or short strand fibergalss?) to blend the edges of the scoop into the hood. I know there is no really good way to do this, but I think that may be the best way I have came up with so far using the suggestions from this site and a few friends in the business. Any thoughts, suggestions, comments, or bad words for this process?
Thanks again for all the help so far
