If you have never used fiberglass before, THIS is the video for you! Fiberglass cloth selection can be confusing, there are so MANY choices! Don't let that stress you out! MOST fiberglass work is done with 5 basic fabrics. Learn their uses, and how to cut and shape raw fiber glass the easy way in this video. This is a follow up video to several other HOW TO fiberglass videos here on the channel, so feel free to check them out. We try really hard NOT to fill our videos with lots of fluff or filler content, so be sure to watch all the way to the end, or you might miss out on some useful information. Fiber glass work is not rocket science, BUT you do need to follow ALL the steps or your work may not turn out right. If you have a question about fiberglass use and application, feel free to comment below. I will do my best to answer your questions. If you find this video helpful, please remember to subscribe, like, comment and share with a friend. Thanks so much for watching!

I've been glassing all my life and I learned something here ~

Mind blown. Can't thank you enough for sharing this valuable knowledge. I'm restoring a 45' south african power cat. Needs some fiberglass work, and out where I'm at, there's no one do do it unless you want to pull it out of the water and let it sit out of service for months. Now I feel confident taking on some of the small work that needs to be done.

I'm starting into the restoration of a Formula 233, I've got so many great tips from this video. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for all your videos. I've been binge watching. I'm currently doing a restoration on a 24 foot Morgan. It had a yanmar diesel in it and I'm converting to an outboard. It's a lot of work. Your videos definitely inspire me. Thanks again. One Tip that I have learned. Use your little acetone bottle. Draw a line with acetone and it rips really easy on mat

Thanks again for another tip on pulling the mat against a straight edge to feather the edge. I always cut and pulled to feather the edge. Not any more .Thanks
