Venomized Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I am wanting to know what products you guys are using when doing glassing projects. I know the steps and all but I would like to hear what products you are using as far as resin and catalysts and all. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the steps and all but I would like to hear what products you are using as far as resin and catalysts and all. Thanks. MDF, usually 1/4" and 1/2". Low temp plastics. Fancy stretchy materials... ie Ponte'. Polyester resins and MEKP. 1.5oz fiberglass mat. 2" chip brushes. Mixing cups. Latex/Nitrile gloves. Jig saw. Air body saw. Routers (table, trim, plunge) UPOL Fribre Tech reenforced filler. Rage Gold filler. A metric shit ton of sandpapers. Primers. Vinyl. Paint. Imagination. A respirator will help also.

blownengine Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 +2 on a good respirator. Stuff is nasty. The cheap ones will work, but if you plan on doing a lot then drop the money on a good plastic one with replaceable cartridges. 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT (Yea its got a Hemi)Alpine CDA-105KnuKonceptz 0ga CCA Big 3 with Yellow Top 15" SoundQubed HDC3DC Audio 1.2K (Bass)Pioneer 6x9's (Front)Pioneer 6.5's (Rear)Kicker 3.5's (Dash)Sony amp on the highs.

C.Sanchez.A Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I've started using west systems epoxy resin and hardener. It is sooo easy to mix and use. Goes on with any flat "spatula" type tool. It's pretty much idiot proof.

amc3000 Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 I am guessing a composite filler is a filler with glass in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicenterDesigns Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Why is it so in particular that everyone uses us composites resin? It is mainly due to the fact they sell good resins on-line and ship it and it is all resonably priced. Other than that, if you can find it locally, then go for that. But when I say good resins, I am NOT talking about Bondo brand or Elmers brand you can get at some auto parts or home improvment stores.
