The structure
Polyester repair: damage in the structure
Once the laminate itself is open it is no longer a cosmetic problem but a structural one. The damage is ground back to sound material, laminated again in layers and brought back to strength, and only then comes the finish. This work needs a steady temperature and a dust-free space, which is why it goes to the workshop.
