right, i know all the safety precautions, i used one of those 3m masks with the breathing filters on the sides. the resin i had was deffinitly not like pancap syrup, it was more like honey. my problem was when i tried to glop it onto the fiberglass it would pull all the fiber strands around and become VERY uneven. like it would take me a month just to sand the thing down! how do you apply the resin without pulling the fiber strands all around? i tried covering the object with a thin layer of resin and then stuck the fiberglass mat to it. then i would hold it with a finger or two, but even still, as soon as the resin came in contact with the fibers and i tried to brush it on, it would just pull it all around. i hope you know what i'm talking about. the temperature i was working in was probably 55-60ish. i was indoors, but right in front of a garage door that was opened. there wern't any clumps in it, it was just really really thick, it was blue too by the way. any good online places to order some resin from? has anyone worked with that UV resin? i thought that sounded really cool.

well thanks again guys,
i really really appreciae your help
