How much did you end up using in the end Slowcoach? I've found suppliers who do 500ml tins online - is this enough or did you end up using most of the 1ltr tin? Cheers

I've probably used about half, and Ive done approx one and a half coats. I got it on eBay for approx £30.. I'd go for the litre if I were you, incase of further coats. I did the worst area of mine twice, and it definitely benefited from the second coat.

Dear slowcoach,

Ten years on (!), would you still recommend this product as a protective coat for an elderly fibreglass poptop?

Many thanks for any advice.

Yes id definitely reccomend it- i didnt find any other product that did the same thing (penetrate the fibreglass with a solvent and reseal it) :ok
