Default Re: Tore the skin right off my bottom!

Hey Big Shrimpin-

With all fiberglass (especially mat) the key is not to "handle" it too much. Measure what you need (sometimes even making a paper template for complex layouts will help), cut it and then set it aside in a clean, dry place. You definitely do not want to contaminate the fiberglass with dust, water or dirt. Usually, if you wet out the surface area first with some resin and then lay the mat on top of it and run a somewhat damp roller over it...the mat will quickly soak up the resin and won't get too many fuzzies. You really run into trouble with fuzzies when you start tearing the mat, instead of cutting it. Another thing is to make sure you change your gloves often and keep all your tools, rollers, etc in a 5 gallon bucket with acetone so that they are constantly kept clean.
