Is fiberglass matting necessary?

Thread Conclusion:

 

Matte Is Required For Fiberglassing. There Are Ways Around It But Will Result In Being A Tradeoff Between Working Time And Quality.

Judging by your inability to grasp the responses given by senior members I am obliged to disagree.

Are you trying to dip the matting in the resin and then put it on, or something? That works, but yeah, the matting sticks to your gloves a lot.

My method is to put resin on the whole area I'm fiberglassing before I start putting the matting on. I then lay down a little matting, then more resin untill the matting is clear and thoroughly soaked. That way, the matting sticks to the desired area long enough for me to get the rest of the resin on. I use a paint brush to put down the resin, it seems easier to me than doing it paper mache style.

Fiberglass doors? The trim and what not, the door panel?

i've actually just resined before, let it dry, and kitty hair it in to shape. that worked really well for me, so i wouldnt say matting is absolutely necessary.

But then its not really considered fiberglassing right? Only gluing using an epoxy resin as your glue source. The kitty hair product does contain small fiberglass fibers though.
