Step 16Fiberglassing your beaver

Fiberglassing your beaver
Now you can start fiberglassing. Be warned - fiberglassing is a messy, disgusting process. Do it somewhere that is well ventilated - use a respirator if you have one - and make sure to do it somewhere that can stand to get sticky and gross. This is not a project for your living room!

You can pick up fiberglass goods at an auto parts shop. You'll want to get a container of fiberglass resin and some fiberglass cloth. Get the cloth that has a more defined weave - it's less of a clumpy mess when you're working.

I recently received this warning --> Please for the sake of me and everyone else out there using fiberglass for any project, never use a dust mask like you used, when using polyester resin. I REPEAT NEVER USE A DUST MASK WHILE USING POLYESTER RESIN!!!! The resin is very toxic and can kill you with short term and prolonged use. Take it upon yourself and buy a NIOSH approved respirator at homedepot. Make sure that the filters say they block organic chemicals and the packaging says it is NIOSH approved. trust me the 30 dollars is worth your life.

So yeah, definitely buy a respirator. I'm sure I lost some brain cells there. Sigh.
