If you haven’t ever worked with fiberglass before, it can be daunting. I have used it enough to be comfortable with it, but not enough that I’d want to cut a hold in a Corvette just so I could fix it. I have friends who would do exactly that though. But working with fiberglass isn’t that difficult if you pay attention and follow the right steps. Thanks to Jefferson and the Red Dirt Rodz crew, you are going to see those steps in detail right here as he walks us through making some parts using a mold.
Check it out.
Video Description:
Working with fiberglass can be a lot of fun or it can be a nightmare. You don’t have to get frustrated when you need to sling some resin, you just need some patience and practice to get good at working with fiberglass.
Recently Jefferson gave RDR Crew members Ben and Brock a primer on laying up fiberglass onto a couple of universal air scoop molds. He shows them (and you) how to prep a mold with wax, lay down gelcoat, prep resin and cloth, and then layed it up, let it cure and then demolds the parts.
This was Ben and Brock’s very first time ever working with fiberglass, and the parts came out perfect, just like they are supposed to when you are working with fiberglass molds.
The video is long, but it provides an in-depth look at the entire process.
