and as far as i'm aware, fibreglass doesnt really stick to plastic too well (definately not baby bottom smooth polished plastic), but... u can probably get away with sanding the crap out of the area u want to fibreglass with 45 grit sand paper.

a better way (depends on the dmg) is... if it's just a crack - q-bond it (i think it's called q-bond, it's pretty much super super super glue that sticks anything to anything... perminately), then bog in the gaps. and of course sand it smooth. but if it is a pretty bad crack then u'll probably have to fibreglass it :)

and definately dont so this when drunk!! 8O
