    This was my first fiberglass repair, I used a mask and nitrile gloves learned a lot from googling first, roughed up plastic with 50-80grit paid attention to (not) fast drying epoxy and the way the fiberglass cloth liked to (or didnt like to) bend, used carboard whetted and bent and dried, and ziplock baggie as forms with clamps ziplock Baggie will stick to epoxy, if you can make molds and use vacuum bagging then you have less of a problem with fiberglass refusing to bend sharply. Trying stuff is probably the best way to learn. Oh and when the epoxy is starting to set up, at some point you have to walk away and stop messin with it
