I need to learn fiberglassing

[T3rry]

anyone have a good site for this???

what do you mean learn? You buy kits of fiber glass and theres the additive and an activator and you cut the fiber to size, The warmer it is out the faster it drys, Then you fill flaws in with a fine Thread fiber glass putty, then with spot fill then sand primer exec

I have a book of auto body for the home mechanic.... might want to check out a used book store (or a new book store if you have to) and find a book on it. It has some stuff about fiberglassing in it.

REally its not that hard
You go down to an auto store and buy fiber glass and it will come with a big can of additive and an activator, Read the directions you cut the fiber glass to size and lay it where you need it, then cover it with fiber glass putty then spot fill like i said
i did my body kit my self its really not that hard where you need a book on it its self explainitory. Just goto like auto zone or car quest and ask them

That's where I learned how, you can't go and duplicate what he did, but you get the general idea. You can apply it to anything after that. When you need custom molding, strong, and a light weight.

Like has been said a few times already, just go to a home depot or any other hardware store, they even have it at Meijer. You just need to get a little practice, and get an air filter mask if you plan on doing a few days of work, your chest will definately start to hurt if you only use a particle painter's mask.

Perhaps some more detail on what you plan to fiberglass would help us give you more specific help.

Xidion: Do you have pictures? Did you use another kit as a mold or did you just go for it.
