Ok, I will never use TOO much fiberglass again... ugh... I cant even sand down the 4 layers I put on it *bah!*

Sorry needed to vent!

Power sander should be able to eat through it quick.

2hrs of powersanding :P booooo, still not where it should be

For the heavy sanding I hook up a sanding disc to my angle grinder. It would put a hole in 4 layers in less than a minute :P

holy crap... i dunno if I have an angle grinder pooo would make my life easier...

how do you fill in the air bubble holes?

put down all the layers at once, not one after the first one dried. and use a fiberglass roller.

too late for that :P it's all dry...

whatcha makin'?

^ haha, more like: watcha fixin?

Depending on what you're working on, you can use body filler to smooth out the surface. I like evercoat rage filler, bondo works too.

Mandy I'm fixing my rear plastics

pat, how much is it? I need just a littlebit...

I was told there is something better for body panels, not sure what it's called though. More of a putty. Body filler dries hard, so any flex will cause it to crack.

Sounds like he is making a mess.

use plaster first on your body parts, then use that as a mold for fiberglass.

TDS knows all

Plastics were cracked and missing pieces, there was no way of making mold, nor would I ... too much work

we talking about motorcycles?

yep, rear plastics on my f3, comes in 3 parts, 1 of them was badly broken, had a plastic stem cracked off that is used as mount and was missing a nice chunk of the corner... fiberglass fixed it ^^ just need to sand it down and get rid of the air bubbles somehow

we thought the new guy had a weird fetish

I wasn't making a mold of my penis... why would you even think that...

you posted it in the "open forum" and not the "motorcycle forum"


and a few members have posted something similiar few years back too.

same the fiberglass while wetting with water, the water will stop the resin from clogging the paper so fast and help things move along faster

elec sander and water... hmm

As long as you aren't sanding in the bathtub, you'll be fine Just a bit of water on the surface to clean out the dust.

fucking plaster? you are truly retarded.

cut off the mess you made and start over.

AH YEA, for sure, I was doing that... there were little air pockets I couldnt get rid of and now when sanded they're visable, I took a higher grit paper and sanded it down more, but it only goes so far

are you using fiberglass cloth or csm?

i have both but i used thstranded since the plastics were completely damaged, seemed like a better idea if the fiberglass was holding the plastic from all directions

i cut them to 1x.5 inch sections

you put straight fiberglass on your penis. damn, that has to itch.

wat?
