Default RE: how to fiberglass

awww i love microwave stories
i had a lot of fun fiberglassing
heres what i did, i used 2 different approches
for bottom
mix epoxy heat w/ heatgun, pour on wing, smoothen out, throw fiberglass on, mix more epoxy, heat again, pour on fiberglass, squegee around, place covering backing on, squege more,
i used a lot of epoxy (read my sig) but was very smooth
on the top i used less epoxy same method as above except this time i heated the epoxy while it was on the wing and squegeed all around, this allowed the epoxy to soke in much quicker (compared to useing more epoxy like i did on the bottom) but it wasnt near as smooth
either way they both worked
anywho here are the the results (pics arnt totally accurate)
