Fiberglass. I'm not going to load questions onto you guys, but does anyone know a basic online manual about it? I've played with bondo for years now, so I get the idea of it, but everyone tells me fiberglass is stubborn. :laser:

fiberglass is definately one of those things you must experiment with to learn, nobody can really teach you, you just gotta get in there and do it. before i did my rear seat project clicky clicky i had never worked with it. people told me i had no idea what i was getting into, but of course i dont listen. i got all the stuff and just started having fun with it. mix some resin and hardener, apply the cloth and basically paint the cloth with the resin till the whole cloth is covered in it, and try to get rid of the bubbles. do this about 3-4 times and youll have a piece of fiberglass you can stand on and will not budge. for me i cant wait till i get another idea and decide to do another fiberglass project.

I totally agree. The good thing is you can't mess things up too much. You can always add more or sand off more. The first couple of times may be tedious but you will learn how to use it and even your first project can turn out well if you take your time and don't give up.

I must say...fiber glassing is more aggervating and uncomfertable than it is difficult.
