And a whole lot more. Working with fibreglass or anything related is yucky. You have to be mad to work with it, and the more you do the madder you become. Every time I have made something (seat hump plug for my Zagato Guzzi, hump and tank plug for the OB1 Guzzi, and assorted one-off parts in carbonfibre), I swear it will be the last. Angostura Bitters is a master craftsman of the kitchen table and bed. His meticulous blog 19711007 is an illustrated step-by-step mind boggle of the sticky art (and wordworking) and shows what is possible to the dedicated DIY enthusiast. After some catch-up homework last night I was reminded what a laborious task it is if you want to do the job properly. Mr Bitters we salute you. BP
Hey! I missed this one. Thanks guys.
ReplyDeleteYep GRP is a time consuming, spendy, unapologetic bitch.
It is also a strain to any relationship. Unless you're afflicted with six copies of the DIY gene in your DNA, you're almost always time and money ahead to search for a local metal basher to add to the Rolodex.
Siempre, amigos, Adam
