Hello colleagues,
I’m helping a woman who rescued this turtle, she aptly named Crush.
She initially put bondo on the shell, but it’s coming off and she is looking for a more permanent waterproof material to use while the shell repairs itself.
She has ordered fiberglass boat repair strips and some acrylic nail product.
I was thinking a barrier (honey) between the injured skin and whatever we decide to use.
Straight epoxy?
Coe Tray Plastic?
Any Coyote Design people? Basalt?
Super glue for the cracks and a protective cover not glued to the shell?
I’m meeting with her Sunday morning to help.
Any suggestions are most welcome.
Thank you in advance
