Glider repair

Major and minor repairs can be carried out and will be quoted for individually. In some cases necessary repairs are discovered following removal of the gel. In this case a quote is given and the work undertaken following agreement by the customer.

Glass and carbon fibre repairs

If the gel coat is extensively cracked then the cracks may have propagated into the top layer of fine cloth. To prevent the cracks propagating back through the gel in these areas it may be necessary to carefully peel off this cloth layer and replace it.
