You are correct in this post jumbo, but I am going to take a second to refresh your memory from last week. I was able to take a break and have one of my 10 smokes of the day while I chatted with the wife. I picked up a razor blade and cut the excess glass hair off with out gloves, I touched a razor blade! My material pics, I'm pretty sure show a box of gloves.. Umm I have a finger that may need amputated in case you haven't been reading. Anyway. I'm sure the picture that you are referring to is OSHA approved, no worries buddy :roll: thanks for caring!! Every bit of info I get helps!!!

Couldn't ask for a better wife!! True fisher woman, hard worker! Beautiful and healthy!! She cut the backyard after I picked up all the parts then she went to kmart and put down grass killer so I don't lose small parts. Gotta love a woman like her!!

I showed this as how "I" would repair fiberglass damage using resin from West Systems that is new to me. Keep in mind that there are many ways to apply fiberglass. What ever works for you, Many different kinds of resin as well. Please keep in mind that this was just my way, that the hull collision repair should have been repaired. sorry if I confused anyone.
