Re: fibeglass help

you can glass over tape but it won't be as supportive and may break.

have you ever done glass before?

Re: fibeglass help

Just make sure you let it cure properly. Also how many layers of resin and mat are you using?

How big a hole are we talking? Pen sized? Baseball sized? ..... Basketball size?!?!

^ what he said, mat it up, resin and good to go. Fiberglass is an extremely strong compound.

ok well here we are as of now. i layed resin over everything last night woke up and the tape peeled away so i took it off and layed more resin under where it was. i just got down laying my first layer of fiberglass cloth. later ill lay down my mat and then do the resin/bondo and sand then paint. ill post pics of it when its finsihed.

also, no i have never fiberglassed before. this is my first time. so when i do post pics dont be too harsh...
