Fiberglass ?

Postby jamie501 on Wed Apr 06, 2011 2:08 pm

has anyone got any experience of working with fiberglass ?

ive been reading a thread on kitecrowd about skimboards and im going to attempt to make my own :?

so does anyone have any tips ? or know anywhere online that has some good how-to guides ?

going for a foam core with wooden stringer, but im just a bit confused about the glassing part and what I actually need to buy

im guessing I need these:

oh and does anyone know how to colour fiberglass. because it needs to look good just incase it rides crap :)

Nice one If yours works i will commision one!

The guys at East Coast are freindly ( I tried to sell them a machine last year) I would just call in and tell them what your going to try and do. As well as selling all the gear they have a factory making all kinds of stuff out of fibreglass so they will have all the answers. :D
