Dave, Mister Towed & Swifty - Excuse the delay in replying (see below).

Yes, I bought the same blue stuff as Mr T used.
( And learned from his lesson about using the catalyst. )

Wednesday:
I went to a funeral in Swindon yesterday and managed to squeeze in a visit to Micky1Mo on the way home.
It was great to have a chat with him and have a look around the various cars in his workshop.
I think the Sammio brand is in good hands and I am sure when the kits are re-launched they will simply work.

Excuse the terrible photo, as I didn't notice how blurred it was until I loaded the photo up this morning.

Thursday - Early Morning:
I removed the bolts holding the metal plate in position and the bonding paste has set hard.

Then I gave the area a very light going over with my angle grinder.



I put the heater on in the Summerhouse to gently warm up the fibreglass resin.

Then I applied the matting that I'd cut out the other day.



Obviously there is a distinct air of over-engineering about this set up, but it wouldn't be the first time on this build.

I've now left that to go off and come back inside to both get warm & do some other domestic chores.

Hopefully I will be able to add a final layer of filler to the inside of the lid later on today.

Until then, take care, Paul.
