fiberglassing headliner!
Sunday, April 03, 2005 1:06 PM
I fiberglassed the top half of my headliner and never thought about doing the back also, The headliner kept its shape and fits good in the car, Well I was wondering that if I dont fiberglass the back half if the fiberglass will come off of the headliner its self when it gets hot or cold? or will it cause it to crack since it is only glassed on one side! thanks

From what you are saying I think you are meaning should the frontside and backside be glassed and the answer is no. Just roll the glass and matting on around the edges and you should be good.

It shouldn't. The reason it does on other pieces like metal is because they expand and contract at different temps. The cardboard from the headliner shouldn't contract or expand enough to hurt anything.

What i did was brush on resin all over the fabric that came on the headliner. Once that got hard i just layerered on 2 coats of Fiberglass to keep it light. Sanding it was a biiotch! especially were the visors screw in at. As long as the glass has something to bond to, like some fabric, you good!

ya should have spread filler over the fiberglass and then sanded the filler smooth, would save allot of time.

can you just spread resin, and use no glass mat? since the fabric seems like it would soak up the resin pretty well.
