Is it a crack in the laminate .. or the gel-coat ?



It's a stress crack around one of the areas where a hinge bolt is. My buddy was trying to help me fit the lid, and in doing so he gave it a pretty hard twist so it would lay better on one side. Well, when he did that it put too much stress on the hinge area and put a crack there. The lid fits perfect now and is lined up nice and straight with the top of the quarter panels, but I want to seal that crack up.



Without seeing the part .. it sounds like to me that the area around the hinge(on the underside of the part) needs to be beefed-up. The stress cracks ? ..are nothing more than the gel-coat cracking and it will continue doing same until the part is made strong enough.
