[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2722637, member: 15054"] That is turning out really nice. Fiberglass is fun to work with.. I mix it in an old sour cream container and use cheap toss in the trash paint brushes. Wear some kind of toss in the trash gloves as you will have the resin on you. Mix in resin and hardener and paint some of the mix onto the area to be glassed.. I use the fiberglass that has no pattern it is called Mat. The cloth is for finish work and this is just if you want .. I do not use it though. Cut the Mat into strips so it is easier to lay into your painted on resin. Sometimes I cut them into triangles or circles depending on what I am covering up and the angle I am covering. Take the fresh laed piece of mat and dob it with your brush and it will soak and lay into the resin under it,,, then paint on a little more resin. More glass if you want it stronger. I usually have 2-3 layers of the Mat depending on the thickness of the Mat and the strength I need. It is really simple. When you feel the resin in the container start to get sticky you can quickly add more resin and mix it in and it will keep the brush from hardening. then add more hardener and keep going. [/QUOTE]
