[QUOTE="fbi90909, post: 4055263, member: 568679"] get LOTS of gloves, get a respirator, and get eye protection. safety first! w/e you do do not buy bondo resin. get Chop mat. 1-2oz. get lots of 2" cheap paint brushes. get painters tape get mixing cups or cups to use while working with the resin use a spandex like fleece for a stretching material. or polar fleece. the fleeces are thin which when properly stretched can save you on resin when soaking the material. using a thick fleece will eat up resin like a mofo.(plus the fleece has basically no strenght for the enclosure) get some sissors, a hot glue gun, a staple gun. lots of sandpaper. get some really rough grit so that in between layers you can quickly sand down sticking/standing hairs do not paint on the resin. you should stab it in. when you mix up a batch of resin just take a 2" paint brush and dip it 1/4" deep into the resin. with your chop mat in place just stab it into the mat. you do not need a thick layer of resin, as long as the fiberglass is wet it will be fine. do 2 layers of glass at a time. allow for the resin to sit for an hour or 2 to harden up and begin on another 2 layers. glassing is easy man. the key is patience. take your time. read up on how to and get all your materials cause if not you'll be running around looking for supplies while in the middle of glassing liek i did. :/ [/QUOTE]
