Supa dupa!

Great work so far.

Are you going to do some light TUV type testing when you finish? (i.e. let the cat lay on it to see if it breaks? :lol: )

You may need some filler in the crack if you want it to be an invisible mend.
I have some filler to hand, but that was before sanding and it's nearly gone now 😁
