I'm removing a 100mm diameter speaker from a GRP instrument panel, blanking off and fitting a smaller display. The plan is to lay up gel coat then GRP on a sheet of glass, cut a circle slightly under-size, then place in the hole and mask the gap from the front. Finally fill the gap from the rear with gel coat, then laminate over. With a bit of luck there will be little filling to do afterwards, he said hopefully.
Ideally I'd use some wide "sticky backed plastic" to hold the infill and mask the front edge, but it obviously needs to be resistant to styrene.
Suggestions?
