Post by: Sb_Maharana on August 20, 2012, 02:02:47 PM You should get fiber glass matt and resin in your local hardware market, but the normal Industrial fiber glass matt is too heavy for RC applications and the weight is almost double ( I made a 4 feet boat hull which weighed 3 kg, when supposed to be less than 1.5 kgs.)
The best option to go for light weight fiber glass cloth, available at HK http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_listCategoriesAndProducts.asp?whl=XX&pc=58&idCategory=168&curPage=1&v=&sortlist=&sortMotor=&LiPoConfig=&CatSortOrder=desc The foam should be leak-proof before applying resin, I don't know the best method for covering foam, adhesive tapes (2" or 3") may be one option. Or else Araldite. Title: Re: wanted fiberglass & carbon fiber cloth & resin.

Can you tell me the name of resin & hardener ? and the quantity of them ? because I m newbie to fiberglassing.
