I'm going to rivet my fiberglas flares to my car (like this):
(IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v639/genevawatch/Porsche%20914-6/f901_1.jpg) But, my flares are full of holes (previously attached with Dzus fastners): (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v639/genevawatch/Porsche%20914-6/flares2.jpg) (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v639/genevawatch/Porsche%20914-6/flares1.jpg) The backside of the flares have to remain flush as they will be resting against the body. I'm guessing I use masking tape on the backside and fill the holes with Kitty Fur, then resin. Sand, repeat? |

Depending on the person/type of resin, it's more than just your hands, particularly if it is green resin (not fully cured) I got sensitized part way through building my kayak at it is now a real pain working with fiberglass. Painter suit and a respirator is not overkill particularly if you are working indoors. IMHO of course.
