    hi m8, my brother and dad are fibreglass laminators and its like any thing really, just practice and you should get the hang of it. it dont take that long to learn, like filling and spraying, depends how good you are with your hands.

    Right mate, if you're building up sides for a vent on your Bumoer, use an ols Number plate and cut it to size and use it as the sides, Fibre Glass the Insides to keep it all together and use a bit of fillers to cover the joints, Should get you away.

    Get a spare plastic number plate from the scrappie, he'll give it to you free and if not, tell him to fuck off. They're really handy to use and shape as well.

    Na, it wont stick properly to it, if you get number plates, track them with a knife, ie run the knife over them to give the fibre glass something to stick to.
