composite material, took car in fro 55k service and apparently hit a few rocks between leaving Ky and track event so have some small holes in it.

Thanks. Cleaned both sides with alcohol, used sealing tape over the crack on the backside,
vacuum bagged the side you see after laying down resin, CF weave, more resin, nylon peel ply and flow media. I figured it was easier to do wet layup on such a small patch rather than go to the trouble of resin infusion.
