I have decided to fiddle with fiberglass.

My first question is, i need a good supplier online of fiberglas, and resin. Would also like the fiberglass spray.

No, will not buy at walmart or auto zone or 0reilly.

I need high quality, show, fiberglass.

Where do you guys get it at.

More questions to come. but this is for now.

First and foremost. 99.9 percent of all fiberglass parts are prepared using the following method:
There is a drum with fiber string that gets shredded as it comes out. Attached to same gun is a 2nd hose that sprays out resin so when it all lands it has the resin and bits and pieces of fiber. Several layers later and or a specific thickness later the part is either air dried, oven dried or otherwise cured. Naturally all of that is sprayed onto a mold of some sort.

Now for small patch jobs you can purchase a fiber type cloth such as ones that are sold in stores and on many websites out there. Those are perfect for when you have a small crack or a small gap between panels.

Also there is a compound that works somewhat like mighty putty that err... is very toxic but non the less super effective. It is perfect to quite literally bind 2 panels of fiberglass together. Come to think of it I think its stronger than jbweld.
