When repairing fiberglass-resin cases, a bit of foam rubber (such as that used to pack old hard drives) works pretty well for giving things a fine texture. Cheers, Chuck ----------------------------------- And these days, you can get a spare can of almost any texture you want at Home Depot or Lowe's. I've tried some of the "orange peel" with good results to match the old crackle texture. I agree it's not the best but it is hard to pick out without very close examination. So far, no problems with it coming off either (knock on wood!) Billy
