95_1500 Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Yah yah I know its same old shit but progress nonetheless Just a quick observation, compared to 3m and such you get from Lowes or HD.. Us Composites resin is a LOT thinner, like comparing syrup to water. Took a while to get used to it and made a mess with drips. I feel that when I bust out the mat tomorrow, the wet-out of this resin will be amazing compared to what I am used to.

It's super thin and applies wonderfully. It really soaks through mat very well. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

95_1500 Posted March 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 All I can say is I am disappointed that I have been using 3m shit for so many years before trying some quality resin. Ill never go back to it no matter what, this shit is awesome! You know how it is, glassing is ugly before it gets pretty. Only doing the passenger door today since I have to keep the panels on the door while they cure and I do this all before I go to work. Not enough time to do the driver panel today, maybe tomorrow if I wake up early enough. Monday I hope to have both panels glassed on the front and at least the passenger door strength glassed on the back.

95_1500 Posted March 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Well I changed my mind, after that last post I was browsing through the never ending fiberglass hall of fame that is Tim Prins (Groundpounder2k2) section and decided I had time to get a little more done. No space untouched Dont mind the old glass I left there for mounting the rings, just showing the new glass between it and the ring. Tomorrow I will get the driver panel front done, possibly the back. Thus leaving my day off for hours of cutting, grinding and sanding.

95_1500 Posted March 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Got a bit done today.. Used some small rope on the passenger door to give the flat section some rigidity (fiberglass is strongest in curves not flat surfaces) I also got the back glassed on the driver door, curing now Both holes cut out and cleaned up You know I had to mount them No this isnt final, im just not ready to do the finishing touches and im out of body filler. I am going to get the driver door on like this one and sometime this week pick up some kitty hair and rage for something to do this weekend Original Build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/index.php?showtopic=24095 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
