Hi,
I am currently re-fibreglassing an old Phil Byrnes 6'4" supa-lite board and have the surface fairly even and ready to fibre glass. I was wondering if anyone can advise me on how to do the top-sheet. I know to let the bottom sheet fold over the rail about 1&1/2" or 2" but not sure if I do the bottom or top sheet of fibreglass first, and do I wrap some of the top sheet around the rails onto the bottom. I think I have the rest pretty well sorted out. There are still a couple of minor pressure dings I haven't filled but hoping resin will fill these as I roll it into the fibreglass. Anyone have any suggestions on DIY fibreglassing? Any comments or advice much appreciated.
Cheers

hey mate
yer what u need to do is wrap the top section around the rail to the bottem and make sure it sticks down when glassing it before you do that resin all the top of the board to fill in all the airbubles or the board will crack hope that answers your question

use cuecell to fill the pressure dings first if you glass the board hoping the resin will fill the holes it won't really,as you have about 10-15 mins before the resin gels its going to take that long to spread the resin through the glass.if you don't the glass will pull tight over the indents and leave a vacant space of air. get 2 squeegies 1 to start with the 2nd to finish with. glass the bottom 1st wrap around 2/3 inches then the top.when dry cut nice clean line with very sharp stanley blade.cut the glass on the top to fit don't overlap it. use laminater resin with the glass. even when dry this is still a bit sticky but that's how it is. then give the whole board a coat top and bottom of filler resin. this dries and isn't stick once ready. sand it - use 120 grit then 300 {if you're not glossing the board use 1200 after the 300}. give it a gloss coat sand it with wet and dry 300/400 then finish sanding withh 1200. then buff it with polish- finishing the gloss coat well gives that nice shiny look. don't sand the gloss coat to hard or you'll go through to the glass and get stars of glass showing through. most boards these days don't have gloss coat finishes. it is essential you finish the board up to the filler stage the gloss is optional

Cheers guys! I will follow that advice. Someone else put me onto a great website too.
