    i went with some friends after the storm stopped, to see what happened. 3 houses had the basements almost full of water. the firefighters brought a pump to empty the basements, but they couldn't start the engine stupid services. if we would have forest fires and other stuff like us or canada has, we wouldn't stand a chance

    x2. i still have some...my biggest achievement : 4-wheel steering car with limited parts. too bad prices went up and today's models aren't as cool as those from before 2000.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    i wanna learn how to build stuff out of fg. maybe i have to find the materials first... Start small , and get a feeling for how the resin set's up , how the mat and cloth are different . Watch the resin soak into a piece of each. Notice the color change . get that down , and your well on your way so, the only 'special' supply i'd need is the resin ? what's that mat made out of ? what's the first material you put resin on ? To mess around you will need resin and mekp ( catalyst ) mat and or cloth ( made of fiberglass ) Brush or two something to mix it in preferably disposable and some gloves You can expirement with different kinds of materials for stretching shapes . Basic thing your looking for is high polyester content , and good stretch. Lycra is a good one , a is fleece , t shirt works well for lite projects. thank you kind sir. now, time to ask a a local installer to find out where i can get the supplies. if i am not asking too much, when you want to make a strong box / panel (like a sub box) is necessary to add multiple layers of mat ? if so, what do you put between them ? Depends , if it's big and flat . Make it out of wood . If it has some curves or not so large . You can do a couple different things . You can simply go layer upon layer of mat , switching the bias 90 degrees each layer until you get it as stiff as you want . Don't put anything in between , it's just mat or cloth and resin . When the resin cures the layers become one mass . But if weight is a concern , you can use reinforcment ribbing in between a couple layers. And cut down the number of layers to get the same stiffness . You can lay a couple layers of mat , then some lengths of poly rope . Soak the rope in the resin , then lay it on the mat . Let it cure then throw a couple more layers of mat over it fg seems really fun. definetly something on the list for next summer.

    i always laugh when i see the local fishermen... there is a small river going through our city. rather slow and not too deep. the guys fish using 20ft rods. almost reaching on the other side.
