Default RE: Fiber glassing question.

ORIGINAL: [email protected]

Ok, so today I plan to fiberglass my first set of floats. Not only my first floats, but my first real fiber glass job too. I was wondering about all of the screw holes for mounting the aluminum frame work. Do I just glass over them and then drill them out? Do I wait till the glass fully cures, then drill them out?
What I've done,,
Tape over the holes, then carefully cut the holes, cover the hole with some candle wax, , cut the excess wax flush and remove the tape,, then glass, when done I just cut the holes out and run a tap through.

Just be careful not to get the wax on the wood you want to glass,,

Good luck
