LOL you guys are way too good to me, I'm just a hack.
there is a reason I mostly work with metal-
because fiberglass absolutely sucks ass. I told myself I could easily make my new battery box out of fiberglass. What a fucking disaster.
It started easy enough.

apply fiberglass

somewhere I read that mat was so much easier to work with than cloth- what a huge lie that is. It is so hard to get mat to lay down smooth when all the fibers keep sticking to the resin brush.
from now on its all steel or aluminum.
fiberglass can go fuck itself.
