Good video however if I may suggest two small improvements, 1, always drill two small holes in each end of the crack to ensure the crack doesn't continue to run after the repair is complete. 2, Always put a layer of wet resin down first and then position the fiberglass patch to ensure it doesn't move then wet layer on top of the patch.

Thanks for the video! I had great success with the fiberglass repair of my hardshell case. My "learning curve", was that in paying attention inside the case to make sure that the fiberglass cloth was soaked with resin and bubble free, I neglected to line up the break on the outside of the case. Oops. It was not horrible but it did require some mending. I used a dremel to smooth the edges of the crack, then used a clear drying Gorilla Glue to fill in that defect. Overall, I am pleased but, will know better next time.

Guys, I went ahead and fibreglassed around a cracked wheel, outside and also inside (had to cut some material back). It worked real well. Just travelled to 2 countries and still solid. So much that another wheel fell off with the airport abuse. So definitely recommend doing it around wheel supports.

Hello! I'm new to working with fiberglass. I've heard it can irritate the skin. Is it dangerous to put fibreglass on luggage due to potential skin irritation?"

It shouldn't irritate when dry but you can apply top coat fibreglass paint on top of the dried fibreglass if you prefer.

The fibreglass and resin combined give strength and flexibility, resin alone is far more likely to crack when flexed in transit.

You can apply fibreglass to the outside of the crack after sanding the reason I didn't as it looks unsightly. If you are going to apply it to the outside I would get some pigment the same color as your luggage to dye the resin. It doesn't need to be a commercial dye there are cheaper solutions as shown in my other video here kzitem.info/news/bejne/mZdqvJqAgJukp2k

Any hardware store will have the fiberglass and resin. The resin will come with the catalyst and instructions for mixing it. The fiberglass comes in woven cloth sheets or mat which is what he used in this video.
