Fiber glass

[stain.]

Anyone know of a site that has a "how to" video or something on it? I have a brief thought on how to work with it, but I've never done it but I would like to for a mod I'm going to be working on.

Also, any tips for working with fiber glass would be awesome.

Lots of information here.

Plenty of videos to show you the basics.

btw the same west epoxy can be used with carbon mat. I would use west 105 epoxy resin and 205 hardner. You can use 410 microlight for non structual molding to form a mixture kind of like bondo that will not crack and is easy to sand. This is available at most marine stores.

Here is another place you can review

Their forums have some good info http://www.fibreglast.com/VBulletin/

Its really pretty simple to use. Kind of like paper mache if you ever did that when you were a kid.
