Hi Aerohead,

How about taking this a step further to save more cost...

Instead of using Elmer's glue as a barrier, why just use the same glue to hold on the fiberglass itself, as in this example (about 3/4 down the page).

Honda Insight Under-body Smoothing Panels (custom belly pan / undertray)

It's lasted over 15 years so far, as still looks good!!

Might just use the same technique on the tail extension. You never know!!

Jim.
