Re: Attempt at fiberglass work
I have only used FiberGlas Evercoat Marine Grade Resin, never ever had a fire, but did have a few batches not kick over when the sun went down.
My exwifes second husband worked there so I got my resin and hardener for free.

Looking from the back of it. It looks like a spaceship. Did you test out to see if the foam with melt with anything such as gas so you can remove it? Looks good so far but I suck at working with fiberglass. That ---- is so messy.

I've heard that acetone will remove it, that might get even messier
My concern was more that it would melt in contact with the resin itself, so I did a test piece and it didn't seem to affect it, so I just laid the fiberglass right over the top of it.

Re: Attempt at fiberglass work
Ive removed foam from fiberglass using acetone before. Its turns into a bubble gum like substance, a bit of a pain in the *** but doable. Just make sure wherever you are doing it is well ventilated. You will also need quite a bit of acetone. Probably a full liter to do that.
