thats a good place to start^^^^^^^^^^^

just make sure if you are doing plastic panels that you drill lots of holes for the FG to stick to, and it doesnt hurt to put a little glass on the back.

if you have any questions after reading that then ask and i will try to help

You prolly got the bondo green premixed glass that you have to add a hardener to, he is using actual resin and glass mat and chop mat. You can get that from autozone or walmart i believe.

go to home depot or lowes and get some fiberglass resin and mat or cloth, i suggest mat. you cant use the premixed like he is, i would suggest going and getting the other stuff but i know a few people who actully like what you have better

what are you trying to do? like what are you fiberglassing?

the first thing i ever fiberglassed was a gauge pod which came out ok.. i would start on some thing small then work you to some thing big. i went from the single gague pod to and starting a 3 gauge pod that will go in the center vents.
