Fiber Glassing stage



STEP 3

After your PEP file is cut out and peiced together you begin the fiberglassing stage


I started with your generic run of the mill resin and fiberglas which was just punishing myself, because the resin, if you put too much on at once, would seep through the cardstock and make it soggy. Ergo, you had to do it in patches and it took FOREVER.



About half way through the process i discovered fiberglass jelly (HINT: Fiberglass jelly makes the process take 1/50th of the time of regular resin) and everything went alot smoother because the fiberglass jelly doesnt sink into the paper, allowing you to fiberglass as fast as your hands can work.



Also make sure you use the cloth fiberglas or the matte fiberglas.



Here are some photos of the process, the yellowish brown is the regular resin and the dark green is the Bondo Fiberglas Jelly(life saver).
