Wow i've never worked with fiberglass. That is some nasty stuff, the threads stick to just about everything. Neighbors have been giving me some funny looks, they can't figure out what the hell i'm doing.

yeah its not going as planned. Yesterday about an hour after I made my first layer, the weather turned. Went from 65 degrees to 30. Now the fiberglass wont harden and my car smells something fierce. Wish I had a heated garage, or a garage at all for that matter!

if you have a small space heater or something use that. I had a small ceramic heater/fan I used in my garage to blow on the glass (and that was in winter)

unfortunatelty i live in an apartment, and park on the street. guess i'll just have to wait it out. By now i'm sure the resin has soaked into the trunk liner, and i'm going to have a nasty mess. joy

if you taped it up well, it should not have gone through to the liner. You should be fine. I never got a single stain of resin in my trunk.<edited><editID>brrman</editID><editDate>38082.4490740741</editDate></edited>
