A really useful article that will help people who are a bit daunted by working with glassfibre, as I was until a few years ago.
+1 for peel ply if you want a nicely finished surface. It helps to hide the weave of the glass mat and, most importantly, eliminates the the shiny, waxy ‘amine blush’ that you have to wash and sand off before painting or gluing onto it. Saves a lot of sanding and grinding and reduces the mess and dangers inherent in generating all that glass dust.
People – get a really good mask/respirator for sanding glassfibre.. Mine is exactly the same as in the link, five years old and I was using it just yesterday.. A great investment.
