Long lasting safe in house
Really good tutorial Greg. You're a natural instructor.
I've done a heck of a lot of glassing in my time, and I really enjoyed this. Thanks!
Great video I'm redoing a 54" fiber glass rc race boat for my first time. You covered every question I had. Thank you.
Wonderful tutorial. Very helpful. I’m loving fiberglass and I haven’t even begun. Thank you.
Coming to end of 2018 and you are still teaching many with one video. Thank you.
I just wanted to say thank you. Easy to understand, and easy to follow.
I learned a lot fromthis video. Its a great balance of big picture information, small details, and live examples. Thank-you, I'm feeling a lot more confident about my project.
This was the fibre glassing video I was looking for. Excellent tutorial, thank you!
BY FAR THE BEST TUTORIAL AROUND. THANK YOU SIR! NOW I KNOW WHAT I HAVE BEEN DOING WRONG!
It has been about 150 years since I have applied cloth and resin to a model. This was a good reminder of how it goes. Thanks for taking the time to video. It will help a lot of people.
Best RC GLASSING video I have ever seen. Well done.
Awesome tutorial!! thanks! this encouraged me to glass my plane.
Best tutorial I’ve ever seen! Excellent work sir!
Your video editor is awesome. This was a very concise and informative demonstration. Simple, in plain english, and didn't deviate from the subject material. I watched the whole thing start to finish.
I used this technique to glass over cardboard tubes to make custom speaker pods. Came out phenomenal. Thank you for the lesson!
absolutely a pleasure learning from you,. I am making sculptures and covering them with Fiberglass
Just looking at the front end contours, you did an amazing job shaping the wood. Can't wait to try this with my modeling. Thanks for all the great tips.
Man this guy is a professional ! you can really mess things up if you don't have the skills. This guys got it all worked out.
Thank You Very Much, This video is one of the more informative and professionally done tutorials I have seen.
the best I've seen, this guy should do all the tutorial's on hobby stuff -good teacher . thanks you very much, now what was I working on???
Thank you so much for doing this. This is one of the best tutorials I have seen on doing this!
You have great passion for fiberglass and it shows in your informative video.
Very good tutorial made me a lot more confident to have a go. Thank you
One of the most helpful and informative video's I have seen in a long while. Thank You very much for the great info.
So incredibly informative! Even you mixing the resin being "rudimentary"... not to me, I'm a beginner, haha! And those periodic checklists are priceless. Thank you so much, I'm now a better man bc of you!
This is a great tutorial. Excellent examples, very clear and easy to understand. Thanks for posting!!
Yeah, that was a good video. I particularly liked how you went into detail to explain the materials needed. One time use brushes, unbleached fiberglass and how to mix and thin the epoxy and how to lay it out. A very good tutorial. Thank you.
Really good clear video. I feel like I can glass with confidence now.
Thanks for making this video. Very well done and helpful for a newcomer!
Thanks Greg. Very informative and great presentation!
Great tutorial. I love this fiberglass of yours. So soft. Like silk.
I've always FEARED fiberglass- seems like it always had special techniques that I was unprepared to devise.
But the realization that it's actually _EPOXY_ that holds fiber weave in place, makes sense: I've used 5-minute epoxy to waterproof firewalls, landing wells, all sorts of things. THIS just adds a little more "silkspan" technique. (Remember that stuff?)
Thank you for doing this; it's very helpful!
Excellent! Follow the advice given and you won’t fail.
Thank you very much, Great instructions, very clear and to the point.
Very nice, thanks for posting. I'll be outfitting my race car with new fiberglass parts with the knowledge gained from this video - Thanks!
Very helpful. Thanks for posting this video!
Great video guide. Very clear and informative. Answered all the questions I had. Thank you.
Thank you for this fantastic video! You answered pretty much all the questions I had.
This nice looking man dose a really fantastic job of explaining it very carefully
you sound like the duke, a lot! I've watched your video several times to make sure that I didn't miss anything. Excellent and Thanks
Thank you. Your tutorial is really helpfull and simple to understand.
Thank you. Great info that I needed!
Thank you Greg, that was outstanding.
Do u know where he gets the nonstarch fiberglass cloth
Very nice walkthrough and clear information.!!!
Outstanding! Thank you for this tutorial, it eased my mind and set me up for success in learning ! Take care Sir !
I build duck hunting layout boats and after watching this video, I realize that I have been using too much hardner. This is a great video, I don't know how anyone could dislike it. Thanks.
This still may be the best fiberglass tutorial 5 years later.
Thanks for explaining this way..
Thanks Greg, this was most helpful.
The best video I could find on TH-cam! Thank you sir for actually explaining what I need! I’m building a skiff for saltwater and I think I found what I was looking for. Definitely got yourself a new subscriber!
Great advanced topics Greg, good job on the tutorial series!
Excellent tutorial, thanks!
Thank you for this awesome video. I learned something today.
If you ever seen the projects Greg has done..............you'll learn to LISTEN to every exact word he says. He's is a top pro!
And thank you for this post. Quite very useful.
Excellent video, extremely useful, thanks for sharing your expertise and experience.
Thank you for a great tutorial.
Thank you! Was thinking of making some geeky scifi stuff with this!
Thanks Greg, great tutorial!!
I learned a lot from this video. Thanks.
Thank you that was very informative, just by watching once....
That's what I need. Thank you 😊
Greg sounds alot like Johnny Cash!
Great video my friend!
Thank you for eliminating all the guesswork.
Makes on feel more confident applying fiberglass!
very helpful tutorial! thanks for posting!
Thank you. Great instruction.
The best tutorial❤
Nice instructions on the fiberglass job, thank you
Thank you very much for your videos.
A great video I like the thinning process
Great tutorial!
One technical correction on the denatured alcohol. Alcohol is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs water, including from the air. Manufacturers have to do special, expensive operations to get all the water out (that product is labeled "anhydrous" and costs!) - then over time it will absorb water from the air, so there's a shelf-life. A bit of searching suggests that hardware-store alcohol has around 7% water content. The cloudiness is from the alcohol ADDING water. That will cut the resin strength by some amount. Still, looks like thinning it does a great job of penetrating and hardening up the balsa (which also contains moisture) so you're getting good results, which is what counts here.
Fabulous instructional video....ahhhh..the things I can build with balsa wood and have it be strong!! Thank you
Thank you for making this video
Thanks so much for a fantastic video. I am excited to work with fiberglass now........THANKS TO YOU!!!!! TAKE CARE PAL. PS My name is Mike, 64 yr old USA competition full size glider pilot and RC builder. Once built and flew the Dodgson Designs Saratoga Windsong ! I am in the process to start building again.
Thank you! I want to do this on my e350 class c motorhome but I'm still learning watching videos. =)
Excellent video. Greg is like the Bob Ross of the glassing world ! I too, will be using the Ziroli glass with Z-Poxy on my upcoming project. The only difference is that I will not be diluting the expoy with alcohol as I feel the viscosity of the epoxy is already thin enough out of the bottle...this is just preference.
Very helpful. Thanks very much.
Thank you!!
I will be building a rocket soon that will need fiberglass reinforcements to the "fin can" section so they can withstand supersonic flights without ripping off, which I've never done before. This is the exact video I needed to have the confidence to get it done. Thanks!
I've built fiberglass boats for the offshore power-boating industry and also rotor blades for helicopters. We always wet the area before fabric, then wet out and roll to desired consistency. the only time we wet only on top is when using vac bags
Great video and good tips on how to do it.
Excellent presentation ! Very clear and concise directions on how to apply etc. Excellent lighting so I can see what's going on, excellent camera work, and probably saved me from making some huge mistakes on finishing my year long plane project. Thank you for a great You Tube tutorial. ( from Carl using my wife's account )
Thanks for a very helpful video.
Thank you. Have not done it in about 30 years and could not remember the specifics.
Awesome Tutorial
Thank you!
I was curious about the statement (around 8:43) that too much hardener would prevent set up. I would have thought too much hardener would cause set up to happen too quickly. It did for me using Bondo body putty. I used too much hardener and it set up in the container while I was still stirring it...lol Thanks for taking the time to post your informative video.
scale glider build going to glass the wings, Great informative video Thanks
good job and demo thanks these video help out greatly, dont need to chase people and try to get help...
Excellent! Your tutorial is very professional and I'm now eager to get out and start my big project! Someone suggested you sound like John Wayne but I'm voting you sound like Johnny Cash!
X2 about Johnny Cash
Helpful video, thanks. FYI I used Bondo fiberglass resin for my project and my Solo cup melted. I had a paper cup nearby so the damage was minor.
Thank you for video.
Great tutorial - thanks.
Any idea if the z-poxy is compatible with closed cell foam insulations, the blue or pink stuff?
very helpful, thanks
Very informative for beginners
Thank you Sir ,you gave me an idea thank you very much Sir.
great. love the info
Wonderful video !!
