Haha Waikikichan I haven't done that one but had a friend who mixed a hot sanding coat to try to get the board ready quickly and placed it in the sun to further quicken the setting of the resin and had the board catch fire and because we saw the smoke and ran to the rescue, he was able to salvage the board but had to remove the fiberglass and start all over
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.

Hey there. So, funny enough, there is no instruction on how to use those 3 products in the package nor anywhere online... :|
I applied the white tube as the first step. Now I have to put the fiberglass cloth and use which other product to make it wet, the yellow or the black?
Will I have to use all the 3 to fix it? Sorry, it's so frustrating that there is not any kind of instruction...

The white tube is the foam repair stuff and it needs to harden in the sun then sand it down. Then use the resin in the black bottle to wet the glass down. Just add a little at a time and squeegee it so it has the least amount of resin to soak up in the cloth. then take it outside and let the sun shine on it
