I just bought my home, and the previous owner had a LA SPA ShangriLa 2000 sitting on a wood deck away from the slab deck that is connected to the home. I noticed that they did not use treated wood for this deck, so i decided to remove the spa, move it to the slab, and tear down the wood deck because it was rotting. Well, in the process of removing the spa from the wood deck, the idea was to move my trailer right to the edge of the deck, slide the spa out and over the trailer to the balance point, allow it to pivot and go down to the trailer, once the bottom edge was on the trailer, lift and set it on its side. The move the trailer to the slab, and do everything in reverse to set it on the slab. Everything was going very well until I miss understood my brother and almost won a Darwin award. He was on the deck lifting and pushing the spa while I was on the trailer trying to give additional counter balance to get it to flip up onto its side. Well, my brother got it to the balance point but I miss understood him thinking he was saying he couldnt reach it to push any farther, so I put all my weight onto the edge I had, and it came right up onto its side.... thing is, I put too much into it and the momentum caused her to continue and she came over all the way. I was lucky to get out of the way.
In landing on the other side of the trailer, half on the trailer, half on the ground, upside down, it caused the upper fiberglass to crack.
Now, I have allot of work to do to this spa to get her running, and the first thing is going to be to repair the cracks. There were superficial cracks to begin with, she is 16 years old according to the model sticker, but they didnt leak. I had to drain her completely before trying to move her. Now with these cracks, I believe they go all the way through.
What is the best method of repairing these new cracks the the superficial ones?
