About 10 years ago I wrote an article for the GMC Motorhomes International newsletter that might some help to you.
As others have pointed out don’t use a polyester resis (Bondo) to repair it as it will not hold long term.
The article is too big to be posted here.It is in Issue 96, Summer 2006. You can get the article online at GMCMI.com or, if you send me your email address I will send you the PDF file.
