hell yes it will harden that shit will be hard as hell w/that resin on it, almost like superglue lol, do you want to make a mold of it or do you want to apply the glass onto it?

It should harden, but make sure you add a layer or three of mat and resin.

yup will do.

I was fiberglassing all day, you guys will see what later. but i did start on the door panel. I put resin on it and left it to dry. Havent checked back on it, but it looked like it was drying good. I put a few holes in it to let the resin resinate thru to grab on, honestly its looking good.

btw, i love fiberglass

yeah, it going pretty well now, I'm getting rid of the mirror...I was kinda afraid it wasn't going to stick very well but when utake off the fabric there are lots of nice little hole for it to grab. But i also ran a dremel cuttin tool down horizontal lines across it for that extra grab.
