Mesh grill, attachment??

I know kits like GReddy and the SP grill etc use little metal wires bonded to the fiberglass, and you use this to secure a grill onto the kit.

My question is, what kind of epoxy is used to bond the wires to the fiberglass? The reason I ask is cuz I had my GReddy sides painted and the body shop kinda broke a couple of the metal wires off. I tried using a hot glue gun, but that doesn't stick to the resin. What should I use?

If they are fiberglass, then pick up some resin, its pretty cheap for a small container, or get one of the repair kits that include mat as well for an even better hold

bondo worked wonders for me

hot glue gun isnt a good idea anyway...leave it in the sun too long...itll get hot and melt again.

You can also use the 6 or 7 minute 2 part epoxy that comes in a Syringe type dispenser. It dispenses the proper amounts of Part A and Part B. Mix up both parts and apply. Just make sure you buy the right formula for your application.
