what needed for fiberglass?

[mechanic021]

I just got some plastic factory fender flares for my blazer. They are cracked and broken in places so im gonna use fiber glass to put it all back together. My question is what amterias are needed to fiberglass? I know I will need fiberglass mat and maybe cloth but what else? resin?

Go to the bookstore. You can read how to do it in a book in about 10 minutes.
Then go to Home Depot. You will need mat/cloth, and resin. Resin is in two pieces (two liquids). When combined, they begin to harden. You basically paint on the combined mixture. Home Depot sells a kit that will most likely be more than enough for like $15 total.
Wear rubber gloves.
Fiberglass dries quickly when exposed to the sun, and not hardly at all when in a shadow. Keep that in mind.

You are gonna have a tough time getting the fiberglass and the plastic to work well together. Plastic is flexable, fiberglass is not.
It maybe a costly venture but Dura-Mix makes a good plastic repair product,
you will need to buy the two part epoxy cartrage and the gun.

Pulling a number out of my a$$ $40.00 maybe.
