Hmm let me see if i can remember any specific tips...heres the stuff that stuck out to me:
When you want to build something like my enclosure I built, stretch fabric over a frame, but make sure the fabric is stretchable four-ways, not just two, otherwise you will have very large wrinkles.
Id suggest using fiberglass cloth instead of mat, cloth is sooooo much less messy.
For a base layer that you want to be fairly thick, Id suggest dipping the peice of cloth in the resin instead of painting the resin onto the cloth.
For ease of use, cut the cloth into strips that are more easily managable.
No brainer...wear clothes you arent going to use again. Also, if youre dealing with the cloth or mat, take your clothes off BEFORE you get into the house and put them directly in the wash, those fibers will get everywhere and are impossible to get out of carpet and such, and they are hazardous to humans and dogs, wouldnt wanna hurt that BH of yours
Use brushes with bristles, not foam brushes, the fiberglass resin will eat away at the foam.
Dont use too much hardener, the mixture gets really hot and hard to work with.
Id suggest using a mask like they use to remove abestos if you have one, those thin paper painters masks just dont cut it.
One tip to make sure the cloth or mat which ever you use is fully penetrated, with the brush, dont just use a stroking motion to apply the resin, poke at it too.
Thats all I can think of for now, anything else feel free to ask
What kind of project are you planning on doing?
