Fiberglassing the seams.

Same day different task, Fiberglassing. Back story here is the ability to find a suitable local supplier of fiberglass and epoxy resin in my local area other than Bunnings, after countless hours on google came up zip.

End result purchased a roll of 150mm x 50m fiberglass tape from a company up in Sydney, more then enough to do the job. It was on special for $15 which is a bargain, but postage was $38. Still, three days later it was on my front doorstep which was very quick delivery. As for epoxy resin I caved in and got two tins from bunnings for $37 each.

Fiberglassing, like sanding probably is not the most favourite part of the construction. While I have fiberglass before it's still a learning curve and after reading the instructions and guesstimating the quantity need to do one strip it turned out I made enough for two.

So, from this little exercise I will assume that 200ml of epoxy will cover at least two joints. I will do some more math and test the theory next week. Plus, I need a lot more rubber gloves as well.

Cheers

P.S. 7.00pm Just checked the fibreglass and the epoxy resin is going off nicely.
