Thread: Curing Fiberglass

Tweet

Fiberglass cures in the first 4 to 12 hours it is layed up. it wont rot so what is to preserve?

If you are reinforcing the belly just rough up the existing fiberglass and lay in some mat and roll on resin to wet it out.

Just remember you can use epoxy resin over polyester resin but you can NOT use polyester risin over epoxy resin.

I might not be using the correct term.I thought as fiberglass got older it got more brittle.It is that effect that I am trying to prevent.This is the thick stuff like on older vettes had.I do remember some about those bodies stress cracking.I don't know which kind of resin this is.
