How do you get your fibreglass so thick? Do you just lay loads of coats down or have you got really thick matting?

interloper393

i use 1.5oz mat i think it is bud, bought it for £25 and comes in a huge roll (like a carpet lol) i went with 4 layers on this, most things you make a need at least 3 layers depending on its application.

any questions u cn giv me a ring and i`ll talk ya through it :)
