Fiberglassing a Speed board 2

Next step after sanding and prepping the corners with the router is the glass the top and bottom






I cant Stress enough Always use a NOISH approved mask when using polyester resin, the stuff is nasty. also purchase some goggles, if you get the hardener MEKP in your eyes there are no second chances! you will be blind for the rest of your life!

Here is one side glassed and ready to go . first put a fairly thick coat of resin on the wood to allow the deepest penetration, then apply your pre-cut strip of glass fabric to the top. I used a plastic $0.50 putty knife and it worked perfectly. Next I smoothed out the fabric on the board with the knife and poured a bunch more resin on the top and spread that around until the entire fabric touching the board was completely see through. I left allot of extra resin on the top so I can sand it down and create a totally smooth finish! No fabric texture.
