First off drill out the end of all the splits. This will stop them from spreading. I found the best way is to do a majority of the repair from behind. Using a heavy grit sandpaper about 80 grit clean up the back side and give yourself lots of working area. Then i start by doing small reinforcing patches just a little bigger than the repair for the first layer of glass 3 or 4" bigger. then the next layer of glass i do the same make it about 3 -4" bigger than the repair. The last layer i usually overkill and do teh whole section. So if it was the top of the fender cracked i would glass the whole inside top of fender. Then on the outside i just v notch all the cracks carfull not to cut to deep. Then just fill them with resin and pull a few strands of glass out of the cloth as filler. I build it a little higher than the original body so i have something to sand down smooth. Sand and finish as normal. Never had a repair faill on me doing this
