OK!



I'm ready to start the fiberglass work.



What materials do I need on hand to do the job right?



And what new tools do I get to buy? 



My short list so far is:

Fiberglass cloth

Fiberglass matt

Microballons

Flox

Resin (which brand?, how much?)

Hardener

Pump?

Epoxy to attach fairings (again, what brand & how much?)

Primer/filler (not the dreaded primer topic again......please)

Thinner

Acetone

Sander(s)

etc............

I highly recommend using West Marine Epoxy for everything (no Resin). 



Things I would get:

Epoxy

Fast hardener and Slow hardener - 106 and 105

Pump set (West Marine)

9 oz cloth, oz cloth  (West Marine or Aircraft Spruce), get some really thin

stuff for around window seams and fairing seams

Peal Ply (Dacron)- goes on top of lay-ups to soak up excess epoxy. Pulls off

after cure - (Aircraft Spruce)

Rotary cutter (Aircraft Spruce)

Microballons and Cabisil (Aircraft Spruce)

Plastic spreaders/squeegees

Box large tongue depressors  (Aircraft Spruce)

8oz. Paper mixing cups  (Aircraft Spruce)

Large box of latex or nitrile gloves (Costco)

Couple dozen 1" chip brushes (Harbor freight)

Durafoam (I think that’s the name) long hard foam sanding bars (18" or so)

(Auto paint store)

40 and 80 3M sandpaper in 18" sticky backed strips - 40 grit is a real time

saver (Auto paint store)

UV Smoothprime  (Aircraft Spruce)

SuperFill  (Aircraft Spruce)
