[QUOTE="ASDF12345, post: 167385, member: 545961"] how do i fiberglass? longest answer ever! the answer to this could go on FOREVER. there are so many large aspects as well as tiny details youd never think of. some of the basic stuff though: use fleece, its the thickest when streched. but only one layer will end up cracking easily. after the fleece dries, do up 4 to 8 layers of fiberglass mat or cloth, i prefer mat. when laying mat or cloth yourll notice that bubbles will form underneath the cloth, at first they are tough to get out but after you practice a little you can work them out by dabbing a brush on them. if you have trouble, buy a fiberglass roller from [URL="http://www.fiberglast.com."]http://www.fiberglast.com.[/URL] the biggest tip i can give you is, if you dont want fiberglass on something, makesure you cover. even if you think you wont get any on it. let me tell you my horror story. over 100 hours of work making a 3 peice fiberglass setup. box, front trim, and rear trim. i was making it so each peice could be taken out of the car for sanding and painting etc as well as fixing stuff after it was all built. when i was doing some glassing on the front trim panel it was screwed in place to the box, well fiberglass got into the ends of the screws and i could not get the peice apart. i end up using a hatchet to get it out of the car because trying to get the screws out destroyed the box beyond repair. learned a good lesson though. any more questions please ask. the best way to learn is to look at pictures ofstep by step installs. i good one is on the alpine website.
