amc3000 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Posted March 2, 2012 Hello. Looking for a good How To video on Glassing. I see a few out there for sale but are NOT cheap. Anyone have a suggestion? Learned alot on forums and net, but would like to have some full length videos. Thanks!!
larrys95civic Posted March 2, 2012 Report Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) I suggest if you got the basics of laying the felt, how to mix your resin and bondo ftmfw it's mostly trial and error. Dont work on anything your not prepared to scrap. I really feel it's a hands on skill that is learned by making mistakes. I watched a million videos on youtube over and over but wasn't prepared for the weeks of work that go into it. This was a project from last summer and this box took a week solid to do. rest of car had rear deck lid, a and c pillars all glassed.

amc3000 Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) awesome thanks. Yeah, I am actually about 25% into my first one. Doing a stealthbox for a mazda3. I think I picked the hardest on to start with haha. Zero room to work in in the bottom when I was making the initial mold. I did 2 layers at first to get the mold done then pulled it out. I have some top overlapping pieces that made like a cave cause I didnt get the second layer onto the first. Guess I can cut the top piece revealing "inside" the cave and glass over it. If that makes any since at all. Essentially a massive air pocket. Edited March 2, 2012 by amc3000
larrys95civic Posted March 2, 2012 Report Posted March 2, 2012 I think I understand, If you got pics that would rock.

amc3000 Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Posted March 2, 2012 That looks great. How did you do it? Any pictures? How did you make the long solid piece? I will get some pics. Thanks for your help
LoudBimmer Posted March 2, 2012 Report Posted March 2, 2012 could anyone post a good forum for fiberglassing?
Rell Posted March 2, 2012 Report Posted March 2, 2012 Sure Fiberglass forums.com Read for days on there.
amc3000 Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Posted March 2, 2012 Nice vid! I am trying to register on FGForums and cant seem to even post. cant seem to PM any mods but one and no response Very good site though. Wish people would post more often on there.
amc3000 Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Posted March 2, 2012 Some pics of what I am doing, and the problem areas that look like crap. First time doing it. Like I said, probably picked one of the hardest boxes to make haha. Had to use foil to make the shape on the whole thing.
