In order to keep the fiberglass against the sides of the handle shape I used 1 inch foam covered in plastic.

Once the area for the handle has been cut out. Once the fiberglass is set trim away the overhangs of the fiberglass as well as the centre area for the handle.

Be sure not to fill the handle area to maintain its shape, Mix equal parts of the resin and the catalyst. To ensure that there are no creases or folds leave extra fiberglass around the edges so that the creases will not be over the form.Ĭut the fiberglass to shape, rectangles work well and minimize the amount of creasing. This week is the same technique as last week’s except the outside is far more curved which means that fiberglass is going to crease if you don’t smooth it out.
