I have read testimony from other pilots here that this stuff works but this
still does not explain why (massive) fiberglass boats, which probably never get
waxed, don't crack. Is it because they don't flex?
I have a friend with an old ASW-19 in which the wings are really crazed but
the fuselage is not.
