: I started working on the Maroske-type fittings for my boat tonight.
: Instead of using glass and epoxy, I used a glass reinforced
: resin mixture. Seems to work really well - and very easy to do.

Sean,
If the Bondo hair is anything like Fiberall the bond will fail. I once used Fiberall to get my footbraces installed for a trip and they failed. Might be worth a test. My rule of thumb now is that expoxy will bond to polyester but polyester will not bond to epoxy.
Best,
Reg
