Question

When I see videos of people doing patch panels they single bead it all the way around.
If its not structural - can you just tack it in all corners and then use a fiberglass patch to seal , level and strengthen ?
tacking it the way around will take some time and also look messy so need to spend lot of time grinding back also ........

probably not - but curious.
Ill be adding a bondo fibreglass repair over the top to smooth out all the tack welds and level out anyway ?

shrug
