    I think a KW hood is metton and not fiberglass

    Sorry about the delay, the wife through in an impromptu visit with Wrench. Yeah, it's all fiberglass except for the guide, so that should work great.

    I appreciate the help.

    I don't know whose wind it was, but it was dahm sure in a hurry that day.

    I just had to look up metton to see what that was. Not sure the difference, but this smells like fiberglass when sanding, and has the same appearance.

    It'll be a but before I get back to the shop for a pic

    Takes a special glue. I don’t think fiberglass glue will work. I believe @sawmill had a similar problem several years ago

    International uses metton too. I have a hood brace break in half once. I sanded it all down and used fiberglass cloth and resin. It worked fine. So… I guess you gotta try something. It may or may not hold. If it doesn’t you are no worse than where you are now

    Fiberglass works for a while on metton plastic but eventually it will give.

    If it not a big crack or in a high stress area it can be fixed with a plastic welder.

    Best place for a metton hood is the trash heap.
