Did one of mine today not sure if im doing it right but was looking for some tips if anybody had any? or has ever done any fiberglass work.

First i wrapped my door panel in fleece, then stapled some areas to get it to sit like i wanted. Applied the resin and some fiberglass mat in some areas to make it stronger and not break.

ill put up some pics later

make sure you bend over the staples so they don't work themselves out
unless you are going to make the pieces removable

Pretty interested in this. I've experimented before but it was a major fail...

What kind of staples did you use? Did you pull the fleece around to the back side and staple it there?

Looks good. Fiberglass can be tricky. My 2cts is to make sure your fleece is fully saturated front and back. If its thin fleece, no problem. Thicker fleece can be difficult. Also for those that are new at this. Read the directions carefully. Air temp and humidity will affect your mix ratio and cure time. For example; To much hardner cures to fast. To little never cures at all. Hot air temp = fast cure. Cold air temp = slow cure. Again job well done.
