NOTE:

For large ruptures/holes it is recommended to use a styrene block as a support. Cover styrene with commercially available unprinted PE synthetic foil so that contact with polyester resin is prevented. Then subsequently secure the prepared support to the inside of the rupture/hole with adhesive tape.
