RE: Fiberglass work?

"This goes against all the manuals on fiberglass I've seen and the course I took. But hey, if it works fine."

It really depends on the layup technique.

If the exotherm doesn't get out of hand there are no problems , 'cept a really long day and usually a higher resin content and lower glass ratio than "optimum" .

No big deal if the loading is as low (400%) safety factor on most boats .

And resin used to be .17C a pound so the money loss is small.
