That's definitely good to know. I have been putting off doing my lip because I didn't want to use bondo in fear that it will crack when the lip scrapes something (which it will lol).

Does this stuff have a bit of flex to it? I am guessing it has to for it not to crack.

I believe duraglass is simply stronger and flex more due to having the fibergalss strands directly in the resin. The mixture and compounds is different than bondo. More close to same way fiberglass parts are made
