How to Make Fiberglass Parts with the Bare Minimum Tools.
In this video we go over the basics of fiberglassing. The purpose of this video is to showcase the bare minimum tools / materials you need to produce fiberglass parts on your own. For simplicity, we do not cover the mould making step in this video as that will be covered in a future video. List of materials and tools in this video: Gelcoat Resin of choice (Polyester used in this video) Fiberglass matt Chip brush Bamboo skewer / toothpick Gloves Wax Acetone Respirator Sandpaper Cutting tool (angle grinder, air saw, dremel, etc...) If you would like to see how a mould like this is made, here are two videos from my channel that show both a beginner and more advanced approach.
