I have 5 scratched on the middle section of my lgt. Would like to get this taken care of before winter mode.

I dunno, experiment with one trace and see. I don't see how it could hurt. If it doesn't work, just scrape it off and fix it with the permatex stuff.

Ordered the permatex stuff off Amazon, and used some advice from the reviews on there before I started my project.

 

The bottle is dinky dinky. But the stuff really goes along ways, i have tons left.

 

First advice, use blue painters masking tape instead of the packaged grid thing.

 

Second, cut 75% of the bristles off the brush supplied with the permatex kit, you only need a small amount of bristles on the brush.

 

I had I think 7 or 8 grids that were not functioning to start with.

 

After following the instructions, i proceeded to peal off the tape after letting dry for 20 minutes. One grid the repair stuff pulled up some with the tape, not much, but I waited 24 hours to try them out, as directions state.

 

All my grids but 2 were functional. One of those is the part where the tape pulled it up some. The other one, i don't really see any issue so meh.

 

I have just gone out and touched up the one where the tape pulled, and will assume it will be fine now.

I pulled the tape off right away after the 3rd application.

 

I would pull the tape off after 5 minutes, even though the instruction says wait 20min.

 

 

 

Will report back.

 

Hope this can be of some help.
