That's fucking awesome, I hope it isn't too far out of my price range. I'll let my boss know so maybe we could start using it at the shop!

What about if you want to glass outside on a sunny day? Still able to if you don't have access to a garage or shade tree?

nope...if you do that your brush will be stuck in a matter of minutes LOL

there is still a place for the traditional stuff, i use it when it's cloudy even though i tend to not want to fiberglass when its cloudy, so i can use the other stuff

i work right by my garage door and usually on a roll away cart of some sort. So its easy to work on a panel at my leisure, and then wheel it 3 feet to the right into the sunshine, let it lock up, and roll it back in.

Sounds like a pretty badass setup!

So, is what your telling me (with out saying of course) is I should get some of this super resin and finally stop being a lil bitch and try and fiberglass something?

i will send you some glass, a brush, a cup and some gloves so you can experiment. Once you make something you will be hooked. It's paper Mache' for adults.

So now that it's glassed, i always put some short strand "kitty hair" over the top and let it set up. This way, when i pop the mold off, it holds its shape better. I ran out of my favorite body filler "Rage Extreme" so i had to stop for the weekend, as no store that carries it is open past 12pm on Saturday. Here is the progress pics so far though. I am starting to really like it myself. I have to resist the urge to pull the plastic off the plexi glass (the blue plastic you see in the middle is clear plexi if you didn't know)

Always ugly as hell in this stage LOL

Time to pop it out

What a MESS!

the black marks are where i am going to trim the edges off with a sander. This way it fits perfectly behind the rubber boot.
