Laying up Glassfibre

1.30 hours

I took advantage of a warm day, and a warm workshop to do the glass layup of the tool box. Using the mold I made previously I needed to lay down one sheet of bi-directional glass fibre to add some strength to the box. This seemed to go well and although tricky I felt happy with the outcome. I left it for about 3 hours and then trimmed up the fible to the edges of the box.

However when I had a look at the final product the next day I was far from happy with the quality of the finish. I could leave it as is, it is structurally sound but not pretty. For nearly all of its life it will be hidden from view.

I know its there....

So I will redo it, I have enough materials available so lets try again.
