Round one of fiberglass work today takes the work from yesterday where I glassed in the top of the icebox and continued the progress by filling in some uneven areas and corners. It takes about 3-4 hrs til it starts to harden and cure.
I just finished round 2 before heading out for supplies and a dinner break. I switched to stranded matt fiberglass and topped the whole thing off. I've been having troubles folding woven cloth over sharp corners. The stranded matt seems to lay down nicely as the epoxy resin soaks in. This should be my last round of fiberglass today. I might throw down some filler compound in spots before I call it a day. My goal is to have gel coat going on tomorrow. I'll also be making a template for the counter top tonight out of scrap pieces of wood and finishing a couple electrical projects.
