fiber glass question.

- what the difference between carbon fiber and fiber glass?
- what do you need to do your own carbon fiber?
- what do u need to do your own fiber glass?
- do you need a lot of experience?
- where can you get the supplies?

LOL NO HEAT untill you know that its the way you want it.. it comes with hardner 4 drops to ever ounce of fiber glass... AND NO SUN LIGHT!!! I warn you now heat makes it harden FAST! I work with it in my garage so it doesn't harden then I take it out in the sun and in about 10 min or so it should be almost hardand the worst time to use it is when its about 30 outside. it'll go hard while your sturring it. and don't mix it all at once an ounce or 2 at a time
