Fiberglass Work

Made a rooky mistake loading my boat, any recommendations for fiberglass repairs in Redding? Nothing structural, a cosmetic ding that I see every time I walk by in the garage. :x

Re: Cheaters?

I have noticed that emptying the tub on the scale is a rather casual operation (as not always done). Since each weigh in bag is the same why not use a hanging type scale with a set time (say 15 seconds?) from water to weigh in?

Why is Castaic being so anal about inspections when it already has the Quagga infestation. Pyramid has Quagga Mussels and is connected to Castaic by a large pipe. Piru used to have strict entry until it was found to have Quagga Mussels. Now you just pay and enter.
