ive tried molding the lip that i have (pics in profile) which was cut in half due to HK's shippign restrictions.....everytime i try to flip it over to do the bottom side it splits open!!!....
first, ive applied fiberglass resin jelly w/hardener on the front of the gap...then applied fiberglass cloth in the back with some resin to reinforce the front..BUT when i try to do the bottom of the lip its breaks on me.....ive tried it liek 4 times and its doin the same thign......ive let it sit for 4 hours and still its breakin apart everytime i try to do the bottom.....any1 know whats teh trick to doin this?.....ill upload soem pics when its brioghter outside... --------------------  |

do what celica3gste said. Use fiberglass Matte sheets they are much better. Because no matter how many layers of cat hair you put on the tensil strength is not enough to hold.
let us all know how it goes.. Goood luck! |
