Reply To: Restoring cowl on 58 lark 35hp

In case anyone else wants to try this, I did use the 2 part epoxy , the clear type for laminating table tops and such to glue the badge back together. I just held it for a bit til it was setting up a bit and would bond itself. Then I used 220 sandpaper on a 5″ sander to get the initial high spots down then 600-1000-2500 grit then some automotive rubbing compound. Shiny as new and it held up to a vibrating 5″ sander so it’s pretty rigid. You can still see the crack but oh well, you can’t feel it at all. Also got most of the paint off of 1/2 the cowl.

It's a jungle out there.
