Rell Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Yes, please post pics. Fleece = material of fabric you use to stretch over a skeleton for glassing like grill cloth/felt/ponte etc. Mat and Woven cloth = Fiberglass Use fiberglass chop mat and tear it into decent size shredded pieces to help around curves and dabble the shit out of it with resin on a chip brush until you work out air bubbles, use a fiberglass roller pre-soaked in acetone before hand and roll out any air bubbles you couldnt get out with the brush. Chop mat is better for your curvy projects. Use fiberglass woven cloth for more flat areas You can use the chop mat for either curvy or flat area projects if you want to skip buying woven cloth Chop mat Fiberglass Woven cloth Fiberglass Fleece http://www.fiberglassforums.com/misc-fabrication/1850-fabric-comparison-*-read-between-pics-please-*.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleanSierra Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 they sell kitty hair if youre wanting to do something like you mentioned in your second post. Its got fibers mixed in to a bondo like goo. Just take your time and soak the mat with resin and do it layer by layer. and YES you will have to sand it and apply body filler to shape and smooth it. Its going to take a lot of sanding as well. Good luck with your search and your project Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
