Hi all,
I researched this and couldn't find an answer. When I use a regular bit to drill holes in fiberglass--specifically, I am making holes to screw the two halves of my wheel pants together--the drill appears to slightly fracture the fiberglass. I have tried using a much smaller hole and then going up with a couple of reams. This works better, but I am sure that it will dull the reams in short order.
Does the little bit of fracture matter? Is there a difference kind of bit that would work better? Repair with just a little bit of resin?
