buckofdurham said:Yes, I have repaired them. I have repaired them when the bottom of the legs start splitting. I use fiberglass resin and fiberglass matt. You can get it at the auto supply store or a boat supply place. Just add catalyst to the resin paint it on then take small pieces of matt drenched in resin layer it on and let it harden, better then new.

If the manufacturer says that I can refinish it , that's good enough for me .cadpoint said:Fiberglass Ladders, no, it just can't even be fixed, any damaged ladder should be removed. Recycle it otherwise.
One has to remember its a composite broken, It's not a solid, but it is well Dinged!
The Ladder label is its 110.3, Clean and readable from the shop talk lecture as much as I remember...
