Stone Protection

[Guest Peter Whiteley]

Hi gang I have a question regarding the protection of the GRP wings, both front and rear on the underside to stop stone damage and subsequently the spiders web effect on the surface. I understand their is a sealant that can be applied ?

regards Peter

I've used two coats of Isoflex - Liquid Rubber (bought cheaply on special offer at my local Homebase) Not my idea as I'm sure I read in a thread of somebody else using the stuff but it was some time back so not sure where or when it was first discussed.

I also used liquid rubber which I got at one of the shows they used to demonstrate it at all the shows but haven’t seen it lately.

I used a brush on underseal. I think it is made by simoniz????? It's basica;;y like tar, but gives a nice thick rubberish finish. Not had a problem with it yet.

I too used a brushable rubber, Wundaseal I think it was, from CBS. There was enough in the tin to do inside both front (wide type) cycle wings, and both rear grp arches, and there is about a third of a tin left. Easy to apply, but it is silver in colour, so I sprayed a coat of Hammerite Stoneguard on. No probs so far, car used in the rain, and it's still all on.

it sticks better with the tin of primer they sell with it

This is what I used, got it from one of the shows. The same one that Chris was talking about I think.

Not sure how up-to-date this is? Did front and rear wings a couple of times and the whole of the underside (monococque) it dries/or goes off best in damp/humid conditions so I guess now's a good time of year!

 

[Guest rizla]

saw a good idia on a mojo at donnington,the chap had stuck cheep thin car rubber mats to the inside of the wings,he said he used four of them from tescos at 79p each,ive just got some for my car,due to the toyos chucking up everything

What’s this Andy adding even more weight?

He's not bothered about weight, Look at the size of the Bloke
