Re: Fiberglass 101 - Tutorial

i use wax paper instead of foil,,doesnt rip on me as easy lol,, and for the chicken wire,,anything that will hold the wieght of the glass is fine to use,,as long as its easy to rip out after,,or never going to be seen, i've used everything from wire,,wood,to some cardboard,,and the cardboard work won a number of prizes in car shows,,lol

Re: Fiberglass 101 - Tutorial

i'm new to fiberglassing and want to know some things. today i bought a Bondo repair kit just to try it because i didnt want to spend a lot of $ and be terrible at it. my question- im trying to mount a PSP in my car with a simple case. i want to use something similar to the back of this case as my mold. (i dont need a front as i want it to be removable) would this even work? would i start by waxing the case and then applying the Resin/Hardener and cloth? would mat work better? and is this all i would need to complete this. like i said, i am new to fiberglassing so please be patient with me. thanks
