Great how-to. I haven't done
Great how-to. I haven't done much fiberglassing, but am getting to the point where I'm needing to learn and use the technique more and more. Great video that answers many questions for the fiberglassing newbie, like me.
Safety First
I'm a little surprised Greg didn't mention that epoxy is a skin irritant and excessive exposure can result in sever skin irritation. He, and all users, should be wearing disposable gloves and long sleeves for this messy job.

AMA Article on Fiberglassing by Greg Hahn
Excellent video, simple & straightforward, dealt with major areas of the 'Fiberglass Process'!
We live in British Columbia, Canada, & are unable to procure 'Denatured Alcohol'.
We are also unable to procure the Z-Poxy 'Epoxy Resin & Catalyst' products.
Can you recommend an alternative to both the Denatured Alcohol which you successfully use as a thinner & the Z-poxy products. Thank You in advance for your continued support & cooperation. Kind Regards, Alan Weaving, for my father, Tom Weaving.
I hope to use the fiberglass process in my trainer aircraft build & my father wants to use this process in his R/C model sailboat & RAF Air Sea Rescue HSL Launch builds.
