[VAC] Re: Inner end cap repair
Marvin here is what I did. It may give you some ideas.
First I drilled a small hole at the end of each crack to keep them from
expanding. Then I glued them. If yours are far apart you may need to find
something thin to bridge the gap.
Next I took a can of texture spray and sprayed the entire endcap. This
texture hid the cracks.
Then I after that dried, I went back and painted the endcap.
I also used this same technique on the wrap window molded frames. Mine were
busted into two peices. So I used some metal backing and JB Weld to put
them back together. But I used the texture spray to hid the seams.
Turned out ok for an amature like me. Good luck.
