I am about to repair a fiberglass crack and I plan to follow Don Casey's method. However his method calls for wiping the old fiberglass area with styrene to reactivate the old fiberglass resins for better chemical bonding with the new resins. Would anyone with fiberglass experience tell me if you use this chemical during your repair? Can the repair be done without it? I only ask these questions because styrene doesn't seem to be readily available.
