Hi Termico,

Lucky chap, wish i knew Firbre glass moulding...i'll jump from foamies to fibre glass.

what is the cost of using fibre glass as a building material , when compared to say balsa,Alloy / etc.

Is the process itself doable at home...

what would be the tools,materials needed to start such a project ?

Regards,
Ramkumar G

At first it is laborious.
When you learn the technique is easier.
need wax release agent, gel-coat, epoxy, fiberglass ...
On the Internet there is good information in English.
My English is very bad.
Sorry
Best regards
