Hi gang,

What suggestions do y'all have for repairing the fiberboard door covers? 
One of mine is damaged with
a ~5" jagged tear in the board, which is bulging out from the back an inch 
due to slight warpage of the panel.
I don't want to install the door panel for fear of it ripping apart the next 
time I remove it from the door.
I did a little research but did not find anything for that form of 
fiberboard repair.

I don't have any experience with the stuff, but I was considering epoxy 
resin laminate or perhaps layering on
fiberglass fabric with the epoxy resin.  System Three makes a form of it 
designed for wood+fiberglass boat
construction, which seems reasonably well suited to the fiberboard of the 
door card.   Does anyone have direct
experience with fiberglass that is relevant to this fix?

Thanks,
Eric
