      I have used a product called Dyna-Hair which came recommended to me.  I picked it up from O’Reilly’s.  It’s pretty easy to use and I’ve been very happy with the results.

      I just go to the auto parts store and get the fiberglass cloth/resin kit for repairing boats & cars.  Always worked good for me.  Like any fiberglass job, getting all the extra resin out and the cloth nice and smooth before it hardens are key.

      I couldn’t find Dyna-Hair, but found a cloth kit for $17 at walmart in the auto section. Starting now and will post pics after. Thank you ALL for the advice!

      I wrote this article several years ago for a magazine and recently found it floating around on the web.  Written specifically with kart seats in mind,but also provides general info about composite construction techniques applicable to any industry.

      I get some fiberglass rod or even wooden dowel and cut disks to epoxy in the holes before patching over with cloth.
