[PSUBS-MAILIST] fiberglass

[Alan James via Personal_Submersibles]

Brian,something you could experiment with is applying epoxy to the glass mat thatyou want to adhere or on the sub itself & wait till it gets tacky before applying it. Then apply the rest of the epoxy later, wait till the last coat gets tacky & add some moreglass cloth. You could take your time with that process, but the epoxy is twice the cost of the polyester.Alan

Hank,    I wanted to mention that some of my brilliant upside down fiberglass work did not go that great.  I did not get the adhesion that I should have, some place seemed fine but other areas I didn't get the resin to soak in good enough.  I may try something else next time.  I may put an initial coat of resin on the underside, soak the fiberglass and then try to compress it up there some how with a plastic mold release barrier. Brian
