I hope this works.

The car wash at the gas station knocked my fuel door off. Instead of paying the $300ish that the dealership wants to replace it I went Ace Hardware and got some supplies...



JB Weld Plastic Bonder, sandpaper, fiberglass mesh, and a clamp.

The clamp didnt work out but everything else seems to be working.





Once it sets a little more I'm going to sand it down and lay another layer of fiberglass and epoxy. The back side hardly has any epoxy on it at all. Getting both sides at the same time was tough.

I hope this works. It seems to be working pretty well.

The plastic bonder works a LOT better if you rough up the bonding area really good. And make sure the surfaces are clean.

Duct tape. You forgot it.

1. Why isn't the car wash paying for this.
2. Why are you driving a plastic car.
3. Next time, use some mylar and you'll have a smooth repair.

1. Why isn't the car wash paying for this. HE left it open
2. Why are you driving a plastic car. better fuel mileage than his F350
3. Next time, use some mylar and you'll have a smooth repair.

I would have suggested some fine wire mesh for better adhesion.

I didn't leave it open... The car wash popped it open.

They won't pay for any damages. There's a sign on the front of it that says so.

It's roughed up really well.

Don't encourage him. The Epoxy craze will run circles around the spray on bed liner crowd.
