Quoted from Wiggy:Never worked with epoxy when it comes to plastic. Do you need sand it afterwards to smooth the surface? Should one reinforce with fiberglass?
Yes, sanding smooth is recommended, unless you get lucky and the application is smooth. I used the marine fiberglass tape on the back side of the Taxi spinout to add strength. There were several tape repairs and a gaping hole in the back of the spinout, and now it's solid and durable.
