Round the corners of the fiberglass mesh for best results. 2) Cut a piece of wax paper about 1 inch larger then the fiberglass. Squeeze a small amount of the liquid vinyl around the damaged area. Spread the liquid vinyl out just a little larger then the fiberglass patch. Press the mesh into the wet area and cover both with the piece of wax paper and smooth out the repair with the palette knife. Remove wax paper and let dry for about 5 min.
