How to fiberglass : smasmed my bike

Hi and welkome to my blog How To Fiberglass. how to fiberglass

My name is Jesper, im gonna tell you about how to fiberglass.

My first try in using fiberglass was about one year ago when i accidently smasmed my bike :(

Dont worry i didnt crashed it in a accident, i was loading it in to a truck for winter storage. I live in Denmark so there is no driving from december to march. Its too dangerous in the vintertime.

When i was loading it into the truck, my ramp was too steap so the buttom of the bike rammed into the truck, smashing the buttom fiberglass cover :( SOO STUPID!

Well i didnt want to spend alot of cash on a new part, so what to do? I tought about it for a couple of days, and then it hit me. Get a fiberglass repair kit & a How To Fiberglass Tutorial dvd. Cool

So i vent to the local car accesories shop and bought a repairkit, onto amazon for the dvd.

First you have to clean the surface you want to repair, ex use some sanding paper. Then you apply a glassfibermat ontop of the crack and add some hardener/epoxy with a brush. You might want to add several layers for extra strenght.

Leave it for 3 hours so it can harden properly, and your done. How easy is that :)

If you have to repair in a place where you are gonna see it aftervords, you can sand it down after the hardeningprocess, add some filler and paint it afterwards.

Hope you enjoyed my first entry in How To Fiberglass.
