Assess the Damage and Choose a Repair Method

Evaluating the Damage

Begin by inspecting your wardrobe closely. Look for cracks, chips, or deeper structural faults in the resin panels. Use a torch if needed to check for hidden splits or weak points. If the damage appears to impact the wardrobe’s strength, a more robust repair kit or fibreglass-based product is likely best. For minor surface scratches or small chips, a fast-setting epoxy glue can often restore appearance and function quickly.

Selecting the Right Repair Product

Once you’ve identified the damage, match your repair method to its severity. For chips and hairline cracks, a two-component epoxy glue like FixExpress offers a strong, quick bond across most plastics and composites. For larger cracks or structural repairs, a polyester repair kit with fibreglass matting, such as the Resin Fibreglass Repair Kit, provides reinforcement and impact resistance. Heavier dents or missing material may require a specialised fibreglass putty to fill gaps before finishing.

Practical Tips for Effective Repairs

• Clean the damaged area thoroughly before repair for best adhesion.
• Follow the kit’s instructions closely, especially the mixing ratios and curing times.
• Allow plenty of time for the repair to fully cure before using the wardrobe again.
• For deeper repairs, consider sanding and painting once cured for a seamless finish.
