I think I'm going to try making something out of fiberglass. Ive wanted to for some time and finally I decided I want to make something small just to see how hard it really is lol. I know the process but I just dont know all of the materials I need. I already have an electric sander and some fiberglass body filler (i guess I can use that to make the whole thing look smooth, right?) What else do I need, and does anybody have a suggestion for a beginners fiberglass project?
 Thanks, Chucky --------------------  |

This is true but i've found that if u do the first layer(bottom layer) in cloth the mat will go on a lot cleaner and your project will get less airbubbles because of the cleaner apply. --------------------  All I have in this world is my Balls and my Word and I'm not breaking em for no one,- Tony Montana Team 6gc 2005 |
