That topcoat has peeled because the original topcoat wasn’t applied on the same day as the fibreglass went down. And probably wasn’t keyed and acetoned before topcoating. That’s what I think anyway. I’ve been fibreglass roofing for 20 years now and I’ve seen it a million times.

Nice job. I had fiberglass fitted in a kitchen extension 5 years ago and it seems to get very dirty and when i checked and cleaned it some areas have slight peeling on the top layer. I have pyramid type sky lights and a bit of a complex roof. Not sure if i should get a pro in to do it or have a go myself. I've heard using the acetone is very very important.

When you cut out the fibreglass for the repair, we’re both repairs because of water underneath or just because the original fibreglass hadn’t stuck to the board ?

You don’t need to resand. Just do the next coat within a day. Ideally after 1 hour or so once it’s dry.

I find this fascinating. I live in the states where you rarely see fiberglass roofs. Worse yet, the supplies to do this are not sold locally here.... How many years do these roofs normally last? I would think a very long time if put down properly.
