Fiber glassing

I'd prefer a Good Respirator & a lot of ventilation. Remember to fill areas as much as possible prior to fixing with fiberglass, ie. Let's say you have a big dent in something fill as much of that dent as possible prior to leveling the surface out with fiberglass.
Dittos on the ruber gloves and long sleeves. If possible get one of those 3M paper coveralls to wear and wrap your shoes/boots as well or you'll glue your shoelaces together !

 

There is a lot of boating in my area and so there are lots of fiberglass resources. One local fiberglass company offers free weekend workshops to get you started... being that you are on the other side of the world, that isn't going to help you much. However, they also have some decent information available on their website. Go to www.fiberlay.com and click on "How To's" at the top.
