yep, that's CORRECT.
the minute dust of fibreglass is like blades/needles. It'll cut anything inside our body.
the 'itching' you get when you handle fibreglass?

it's actually miniature cuts. So stop scratching!

hehe drink acetone to get rid of fibreglass resin +++ in body....hehehe

p/s but just dont say i asked u to

 

[ninja_iga]

oi oi !!

it's NOT the resin you should be worried about, it's the mat (fibreglass) itself!

LOL

 

[dingdong]

hehe...the resin smell like glu like..can get high? =D j/k

 

[icecube]

ya, ninja_iga is rite, the irritation cause by fiber is the cut in your hand. its damn irritating man... but u'll get used to it.
i had handle the fiber without breathing mask and glove, still alive here man..... u are not using it like grinding it or cutting it ... u just moulding it or sticking it with the resin. its not that dangerous.
but if u cutting it with grinder (after it harden) then u really need a breathing mask........... dont play play. the dust caused by the cutting is irritating too. hell fiber is irritating. wakakaka.......

hmmm... quite hazadarous also. I guys bottom line is that all things which are found in fibreglass bodyshop should just be bought. Cheaper, less hassle and cheaper i guess since all the materials are mostly sold in bulk or either too expesive.

Anyone else has other locations on the where abouts to get the items? (fibreglass mat / resin / etc )

yes, its possible. the resin can stick to almost any surface. i even seen people put fiber on metal (in repairing a front bonnet of a kenari) ... and do many custom design on metal and PU .... not a problem.
but it need technic and time consuming.

Oh...I really dunno how to play around with fibreglass...But thanks for the reply bro. At least now I know something oledi...
