Ok....

we drilled holes, rubbed it all down and podged with p40 fibreglass 'stuff'

then we went over it with flexi filler stuff (but ran out) so used p38.

TBH cant tell the difference IMO, lots of rubbing down to get shapes right etc, gone over bits smoothed with primer, rub that down and sort any imperfectiosn.....

should be ready for paint by weekend.....he says
