Fiberglass is glass fiber and epoxy resin. You can patch fiberglass boats. There's probably a lot to know about doing it right, but I imagine it's possible. The thing I'd worry about is if the fiber is broken at some point then you'll never recover that tensile strength. You can apply new epoxy, but how do you get it to bond well with the old epoxy.

I have too many question marks to trust myself with that.

Is this an extension ladder? Maybe just separate the pieces and use the good one as a fixed ladder and throw away the one where the damage is.

Subject: [AFMUG] Fixing fiberglass ladders

Ive got two broken ladders from tech drops. Can you fix these safely? Both tipped out the upper guides and popped through the fiberglass. I just hate to toss 2 otherwise good ladders in the trash
