Well. Shoot. Fiberglass failure.

We started sanding the new fiberglass surface, but after a while I found a few edges that I could get my fingernails under. It was shockingly easy to yank the sheets off. We got the whole thing off in maybe ten pieces. 




We aren’t sure why it happened, the surface was mostly interlux epoxy primer. Our current theory given the uniformity of the failure is that the temperature swings were too rapid and significant between night and day. 

Anyhoo we are now on the plan b. Rather than try again we sanded some more and ground out all the cracks and drill holes in the roof. 




Now we must fill the holes and cracks back up. We are using epoxy and filler.
