Texas Tech Posted August 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 yea, my stapel gun ftmfl, ill have pics up in less than 5 minutes. SO today I wrapped it and glassed 75% of it. Some of the glassin is not smooth at all, its shitty but while i was doing it i figured ill just make up for that part during the sanding, im cool wit sanding.

Texas Tech Posted August 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 pics are uploading on photobucket, but just to put this out there, im not one to make it an excuse, and i dont consider it an excuse, but this is my first time to deal with wrapping and fiberglassing with fleece. So I didnt know what to expect. I kinda just made it rain resin cuz everyone says it soaks up like a bitch. Well pics are coming, and i am going to be dedicated to sanding for this week. just one second. Regardless, this is a fun build, no matter what the outcome, i have to leave for tech in a week and a half, and even if its not finished by then, it really has been a great learning experience and fun to work with. These pics are all pretty self explanatory, wrapped it, some shitty glassing,ugly glassing, and then some more improved glassing. So we got a wide spectrum of glassing calibur to look at. Ugly....ughh well tommorow, you wont even notice it... Baylor University Accounting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSN2meBoom916 Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 No worries man. It's alll in the recovery As long as youcan cut/chop/rebuild (yes like the show) you'll be fine. The "pretty work" will come soon enough. That looks like a nice solid base to build on. Nice start.

Texas Tech Posted August 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 dude, i appreciate all your comments on this man. This being my very first build, its probably going to take a while, as compared to well groundpounder2k. He could probably do this work in a matter of a couple of days. Anyways, I saw this cheese grader at oreily's so i bought it, it just looked cool. Says its for shaping with the rage gold stage of the project.

"Cheese graters" and "Drangon skin (what I use) are just like they sound-like a cheese grater it has a buncha sidways cut holes and as you drag it accross the material it shaves off more than sanding alone. Great for if you just build it up high with Rage or soft filler and need to bring it down low again before sanding. Time saver as long as you're careful and let IT do the work. If you push it, you can end up with some gnarly "cuts" or "grooves" through your work, and have to re-filler em in.

Texas Tech Posted August 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 If this tool works wonders for me, i might just put a new thread up in the tools section. We will see im off to work it. Ill probably finish glassing it today, sand tommorow and maybe the next day (like i said, im new so i cant exactly make an estimate on how long it will take me to sand), but hopefully start working with the rage by the weekend for sure. Oh,yea, screw oreilys for not having everything i needed yesterday, and screw lowes too. I finally found the hardner for the resin at home depot. Both lowes and oreilys had the cream hardner, but not the kind for the resin. Baylor University Accounting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Tech Posted August 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 New pics, this part is drying now. So, since im learning, i decided to try super 77 to place teh fiberglass first, and then add resin, well it was awesome, more organized, and looks better. top view Also pics of something i got in the mail today.... when its time to do big 3 and alt replacment Baylor University Accounting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscoe1129 Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Looking good so far mang! Another Rage Gold trick is to get some 36-40 grit sandpaper and when it is still "green" not all the way cured start sanding it. It is like using molding clay and works very well, but you only have a small time frame to sand, then you get to regular sand. Some people need a sympathetic pat... on the head...with my hammer Scientia est Vox "In Nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti" DONT BE AFRAID TO USE THE SEARCH BUTTON!!!
