Working with general purpose laminating resin is a LOT easier using paint rollers, even small ones, instead of brushes. Having resin and hardener in a paint roller pan works better because it "heats" less. Another BIG trick, is working in air conditioning. Not only is the air dryer, you can use small amounts of hardener, which improves the quality of your work and reduced wastage because of the time factor. Do the lay-up, then, turn the A/C off. Using just enough resin to wet out the glass makes the strongest and cheapest job. If you use the right amount of resin, you can actually see the individual fiber bunches in great detail on the surface, although there are no air bubbles. For the best fiberglass construction, alternate layers of mat/roving, with each layup consisting of a mat and roving, with the mat going on first, immediately followed by the roving. Use a paint roller AND a serated edge (air roller) roller to help the wet out process. Laminating resin is air inhibited, and doesn't completely surface cure until it is coated over, or wax is added. Yes, anything applied over the wax doesn't always stick (adhere) well, so the wax is only added to the last layup. With plywood increasing in price (and probably, quality), try making fiberglass sheets on top of plastic sheeting. Hint: polyester resin doesn't stick to milk jugs. I'm well experienced with anything that can cause much grief, and fiberglass is just one of them.

I've done a bit of fibreglassing as I have a small workshop I do it outside. What doing it outside showed me was how much glass fibres come off the mat and floats in the air shining in the sun. Even just gently getting the mat out of the storage bag resulted in a glass fibre cloud. It really showed me how much you definitely need to wear a mask!!

Same here. I’ve done industrial fiberglass fabrication of piping many years ago. That was hot (I did it during the summer months). Any work being done, when viewed against sunlight, exposes all the tiny strands floating and flickering in the air. It does get in your lungs if PPE is not worn. It will cause you to cough for hours. It’s best to wear a painters sock over your head to prevent the floating strands from getting into your hair and onto your skin. Fiberglass is considered the next asbestos, being worse than it. Aside from all that, it’s an ok material for the boating industry.

Outstanding video. I learned much.

I wished I had seen this excellent tutorial at the beginning of my project (16"inch interface between Ford E-350 truck cab & cargo box). I am at the stage now of applying Gelcoat & Flowcoat. I bought sprayers that I now see were un-needed for the 14sq ft project. I have purchased Gelcoat with wax and without to be Flowcoat. I think that I can apply the entire quart of Gelcoat letting that set-up to become tacky (a few hours) then apply the Flowcoat. My only question is how much Flowcoat? Yes, I am expecting to sand. After all this work, time, and expense I want it to look vehicle\boat body shop proud.

The chopped strand and cloth is a no brainer, but the polyester and gel coat? lets say all liquids? how many liters or gallons does it take using this technique? per M2? Thanks once again. :-)

I think it's best to leave your coats of resin and cloth unpigmented. Properly soaked cloth becomes clear but air-pockets remain slightly white. I'm surprised you don't sand each layer so you end up with perfectly flat surfaces. I can see your edge pieces telegraphing through the final layers of cloth.

Many thanks for the excellent video. Is one sheet of chopped strand matting enough to protect the plywood? On other marine applications people tend to use three and four layers? Would more layers laid in different directions result in less chance of cracking of the fibreglass? I've never done any fibreglassing but may in the future and it would be a sizeable area so couldn't afford to have cracking.

@ecfibreglassuk

Жыл бұрын

Hi Fred, in most applications especially on flat areas one layer is enough. notice we apply two layers on joins and corner as these are the problem area and weak spots. also we have applied a primer layer and also the gelcoat and flowcoat. Depending on what grade you use and how good you are at laminating one layer should suffice and this often the specification for GRP roofs. we used 450g matting here but if we only had 300g i'd be applying two layers. Having said that it depends on the stress levels and size of the project, for a bigger boat cabin I'd probably use two layers and a much stronger sub structure. On more structural parts and in areas that may receive wear and tear such as decks id go for two or three.

Thank you

Hi there, I am fiberglassing in new balsa core on my boat and have to glass (tab) the sides. Just to clarify my question, where the corner meets the deck from the sides, do I have to use a filet since 1700 doesn't bend to sharp radius or can I use matt followed by 1700 or would 1708 do just fine if I use the matt side down? Also my thinking is that 1:1 epoxy or table top epoxy though not "structural" would still be better then using poly resin for putting down before laying down the core to fill any voids since it is thick. Do you see any issues with this?

You are instructing the knowledgeable, The rest of us want to know why you do certain things and what happens of you do something different. for example why polyester, what else can you use. Can you use different to the original ? This is the same mistake others make in their videos

I can see the corner layers of strand mat in the final product. This is not something I would want. So I'm thinking maybe to use some sort of feathering filler to blend in the transition. Even use a feathering or fairing filler to create a smoother more glasslike appearance.
