Re: More Fiberglass!

ok heres a few more pics of it while i was still putting it together

big files so i just made links...do i have to make smaller pics for thumbnails then make them links...or is there a feature im unaware of that will do it for me?

pic 1
pic 2
pic 3

i kinda screwed up stretching the fleece on the first panel (the one in the 3 pics) but when i finish glassing it you wont be able to tell...the other panel turned out a little smoother and a little less bulky (picture of the one installed)

Re: More Fiberglass!

I can't wait to work on my fiberglass... I still have so much other stuff to do first though. Blah...

Do you just soak the fleece in resin or do you make a fiberglass paste and brush it on?

Re: More Fiberglass!

haha I have one piece of advice and only one regarding fiberglassing parts.

DO NOT work on them in a closed living room, trust me

Re: More Fiberglass!

i mix the resin and the hardner in a cheap-o pan then use a cheap-o brush to spread it across the fleece...once it dries do it again and again until when you push on it/hit it it doesnt crack or flex...usually about 3-4 layers should do depending on what you're making
