normal car bog can be used on fibreglass no problems, i used to repair boats and this was common practice, talc is used as a filler when smoothing off the outside of hulls etc, it simply makes the resin etc bulkier and lighter and go further

If your just using it to to fill imperfections you definitely want regular car bog, which is in its most basic form is talc in polyester resin.

I would not use hairy bog unless your fibreglass is a bit thin and you want to stiffen it up.

bog shouldn't be a problem , but the diggers resin i think is polyester

that wont be good if the flares are epoxy

check what it is on the can

I highly doubt the flares will be epoxy?

i was told we could use talc powder but when i looked into it there were more odds against then there were for =powder soaks up water ?

and i didnt want to use normal bogg i am wwondering if there is a special fibreglass bog ?

i just payed $1400 for a whole new flare kit = so much wrong and in this kit i did order the 140 mm rear flares and no they only measure 130mm [ripped off]
