Hey everyone, as the title says I am trying to repair a chip in the resin (gel coat?) on my Nardi Torino E-Brake cover. I have absolutely no clue how this happened to it, but it required a lot of time & modification to make this handle work so buying another is not what I want to do.
As far as I can tell it seems to be down to the resin soaked fibers themselves, which is why I hesitate to sand the area at all. I was thinking of possibly getting some more resin & try to flow it into the chip, but I have a feeling you will see the damage through the finished product.
Plan B Was to possibly heat the CF cylinder/sleeve that is glued to the aluminum cover to soften the glue, then try to rotate the whole sleeve so the damage moves to the bottom of the cover & out of sight. I'm just not sure at what temperature the glue may start to soften, or if it even will.
I've done some searching and found a few threads here that were pretty much what I needed, but they both required sanding which I'm not sure I can do without getting dust in the fibers. Any guidance?
