[Shop-talk] fiberglass help - OT

[Al Fuller]

What are you trying to make?  The expertise/advice you need will vary with your goals.

 

It sounds like you want to make molds as opposed to using the more familiar mold-less construction.  This will likely lead to concerns around the amount of resin used [to control costs], the amount left in the part [to control weight], whether to use fiberglass cloth or matt [cost and manufacturing method differences], and how to control each.  Most likely you would want to consider buying or making a vacuum system to control the resin, yes?

 

So the starting consideration is knowing – what are you trying  to make?

OK Guys...this is a bit off topic...
I need someone who is more than conversant with fiberglass construction, especially the construction and use of molds for fiberglass production. This can be for cars, boats, planes or whatever. If you have some experience/knowledge in this area, can explain it to someone who has no clue and be able to discuss this with an attorney, lemme know.

I love the smell of fiberglass resin in the morning...
