gfx question

I have searched but did not find what I needed. I have found some scratches and cuts in my gfx under the doors. I cannot sand them out. Do I have to use bondo or fiberglass resin to fix them. Thanks

I can't speak for fiberglass, but only use Bondo if it is in a spot which is not subject to flexing or impact as the Bondo will most likely crack off. Also...Bondo may be hard to get in there. You'll have to really go at it with some rough sandpaper (or the like) trying to get a clean, rough surface for the Bondo to adhere to.

thanks for the info. The area I am doing is on the bottom of the gfx under the door. It is a pretty sturdy peice.

Make certain that it isn't a sagging door causing this problem -- it has been the cause on most thirdgens I've seen.
