Ok, everyone, I've started to experiment with fiberglass. I bought the foam, the fabric,hardner and resin. I've mix the resin and hardener with micro balloons and came up with something that resembles honey dijon salad dressing. I've put it on the foam, layed down the fabric and then had to mix more resin and hardener. Put that mix on top and spread it around. Layed down another layer of fabric, mixed more resin/hardener, spead it around and layed down dacron. Now the big question, Does this sound correct? Can anyone tell me if I missed a step? This so far is a test piece, but I know what I can use it for. I am kinda suprised of how flexable the fiished product is. Lou Put a layer of glass on the other side of the foam, then come back and tell us how flexible it is. Warning: Make d8mn sure you have the thing jigged to it's finished position before the opposite side glass sets. -- This is by far the hardest lesson about freedom. It goes against instinct, and morality, to just sit back and watch people make mistakes. We want to help them, which means control them and their decisions, but in doing so we actually hurt them (and ourselves)." |
