Oops -that should read:
3) If the corner was just hanging by a thread, carefully sand off the
gelcoat etc on the outer surface and bond on a layer of light fine
weave cloth, 35 gsm/ 1-1.25 oz/ft weight. There is lighter cloth but
the thread count is low. You'll get a better finish with 35gsm
cloth. Then prepare and glasscloth surface and paint the outer
surface of the door.
Then prepare new glasscloth surface. Use fine sandpaper (180-200 grit on
a sanding block) to get a smooth surface on the glasscloth and feather
its edges before painting it.
The nice thing about good quality 35gsm cloth is that the epoxy usually
fills the weave pretty well. This means you don't need to sand it much to
get rid of the fabric effect after the epoxy has cured.
