Fiber glassing for Dummies!
This week we are teaching ourselves to Fiberglass! We are making fiberglass floors for the tinny and bonding fiberglass to aluminum to make pods for the back of the tender for access to the water. We are sharing tips and tricks we’ve learnt as well as the do’s and don’ts of fiberglassing that we have learned!
We are going over fiberglass matting, epoxy, q cells, and carbocel. Join us for some fiberglass work!
