saw that guy on that video slamming out an awsome glass seat like no problem right.
wrong i suck at fiberglass and am an utter failure.
I got my seat useable with a ton of fix work and cover up but boy did it look crappy at first. The molding part was easy.

so I was like oh yeah i am sweet. Lets get on the resin..
Sticky sticky . tried to lay out a single sheet of fiberglass matte cut up like the dcc vid shows. "just get out the bubbles right".... not ....soon there was little fiber on the mold and a whole lot on me . Word of advice if you try this dab do not spread the resin and keep the mold elevated or propped on something so you can let the material drape over the edges it's hard to keep it from bubbling on the sides.
Ended up lookin pretty poopy. :'( back to wally world and got some more resin and got the cloth instead a whole lot easier to work with this stuff. I cut it into about 5 small strips this time and relayered it. Helped alot to smooth it out.
