Corvette Painting Questions and Plan

It could be that you're living a charmed life? I just don't think Evercoat 411 over stress cracks should become anyone's standard procedure. It's just flexible glazing putty, no more, no less. I don't mean to rain on your parade, we just try hard to keep to best practices. If someone reads that it managed to fix stress cracks, they'll try it on something even worse.

I may have recommended this stuff for some minor SMC cracks. I remember that I used it on my Boss at the time Vette. It worked well and has held up for 8 years now. But any crack you can't just apply it over the crack. Some prep work has to be done. V'ing it out at a min.

Understood Crash. I agree it prob shouldn't be standard procedure then. Thinking back, I was using it as a last resort to avoid skinning the door, I did end up using it on a few other places that I knew were prob going to crack. So far so good.
