Any suggestions would be appreciated. Regards, Charles Faulk, RPT </BLOCKQUOTE> Charles I don't know anything about the poly repair, but I will offer a suggestion about the money. First of all, with the kind of damage you're talking about, it might be cheaper and better looking if you could order a new lid from the factory. When the D in the concert hall was damaged, we found out the state has insurance against major damage. There is a $5000 deductible. But if might worth looking into it. Perhaps with some additional money somewhere, and insurance money, you might get a new one, or at least get this one repaired to it's "former glory." Wim </HTML>
