"...you mean the polyester resin that you add a few drops of catalyst to, correct?



Yah, Chris, that be the one. 14 drops hardener to 1oz resin. Brought to us by the same makers of school glue. Moooooo. (I think I've inhaled some fiberglass fumes.)



Jeremy, I put a pretty thick coat on that booger.



I'm coating a 2 x 4 center brace for a savannah monitor cage. The board will run across the width of the cage, in the center of its length, to keep the sides from bowing out (hopefully). It will be buried in the dirt substrate.



I thought about just coating it with FRP but didn't want to take the chance of it getting peeled of by the monitors digging. I might cut some pieces to size, apply another thin coat of fiberglass and slap the FRP on while it's wet. Nah, probably not. The board will be easily accessible for replacement when the time comes.



I can afford to wait two weeks or so if it ends up taking that long to off-gas. I'll keep you fellas posted.



Later Tater!

Mike
