Hi guys,
I was wondering what makes a good fiberglass job good.
What I want to do is make my own hood scoop. I have the general idea of what shape I want. I have no experience with fiberglass. Let me know if I have my steps correct.
1. I want to carve the general shape of my scoop into a piece of 1.5" insulation.
2. Then do I lay down the "kitty hair" on top of the shape and brush coats of fiberglass onto the kitty hair?
3. Once the top coats are hardened I will remove the form from the underside and apply fiber glass to the bottom of the kitty hair
4. Once I have done that I want to sand it to the desired shape.
Do I have the general idea right here? How many coats of fiberglass should I actually use?
Any tips on working with fiberglass? Like I said I want to know what makes a good fiberglass job good. I don't want to have it crack out down the road.
Again, I am new to body work and fiberglassing but I would like to learn. I am willing to spend time learning, but as always guidance is nice:thumbup:
Thanks!
