Many have asked how to repair a Triple-R-Splitter so here is a quick how to.
This is NOT a show quality repair but just a quick fix.
As my car is a daily driver I do not need show quality.
This is what can happen if while you are on that mountain road and a Squirrel runs across your path.
The repair is not too hard but cleaning off the Squirrel Squeezings can be.
First remove any fragmented fiberglass, gel coat, and paint.
Next apply duct tape to the bottom of the splitter.
The best product I have found to use is 3M Mar Glass.
It works like Bondo but it is fiberglass.
Mix an appropriate amount of resin and hardener.
Mix thoroughly.
Next apply the mixture to the damaged area.
Don't forget to force some of the mixture between the bottom of the splitter and the tape.
Let harden a little and then remove the tape.
Shape with what we call a cheese greater.
Finish with 120 grit sandpaper.
Then paint.
As I said, this was just a quick repair.
I know there is much more for me to do.
That will come later.
