Awesome video, 12 months of confusion cleared up in 9 minutes. Now actively looking for all your other videos. The title is perfect to reflect the content, just wish I could do more to say thanks.

Watching this 9 minute video has got to have been among the most informative 9 minutes of my life. More importantly, for Tap, when I go to purchase supplies for my upcoming fiberglass project I’ll be looking to purchase Tap products. Thank you for taking the time and spending the resources to produce quality educational videos that automatically promote your product-brilliant! -Respectfully

Excellent video. I didn't know 95% of this stuff.. Super interesting

I hope beginners appreciate this video, it is very good and accurate in every respect. I can find no fault with any part of this video. The presentation is awesome.

New to working with fiberglass and this is super helpful ty.

This has explained exactly what we needed to know. Thank you for making this video

I hope you have a video that explains the different types of resins as well as you explained the fabrics. Excellent video

Great video! I really learned a lot about fiberglass. Please keep making these videos!

excellent video!! Thank you for taking the time to present the basics.

This was very informative for a beginner like me. Thanks a lot for a top video. Dave.

Informative video glad I found it. Never fold the glass cloth... I can't argue with that, but for most that's the way we have to purchase from the only stores available to us. No taps store beyond the West coast my guess that they too are long drive away for many.

Such an informative video - thank you very much. You have made things so much clearer. I knew of the different materials, just didn't know the applications ideal for each one. My way forward is now apparent. Thanks.

wow I was about to leave to get some fiber glass cloth and this video came at the right time.

Informative video for a novice. Good work. However my favorite part was the theme song at the end. A lot of choosing directional fabric comes down to simple reasoning. If one is strong left to right couple it with a layer stronger in the opposite directions, throw some mat in the middle and your good. One thing I would like to add is that when using heavy material like a roven, or even a twill, in a first layer it will cause print through. You'll be able to see the weave pattern in the gelcoat. Start with strand mat on your first layer.

Awesome video, the best I've seen.

Thanks, that was really informative and helpful.

Thankyou, i feel that i can freely reference this video as a guide for using fiberglass.

such a perfect video. I everything I needed to know in the first 8 minutes

great , informative presentation. most helpful

Great video, very informative.

extremely helpful man, would like to see video's on how to carbonfibre!

Awesome video, I love it, Keep doing more interesting videos like this about fiber glass.

nice video, very instructive, help me while i was choosing my RC plane ideal fiber...

Most of the polyester resins we carry at TAP Plastics are designed to 'hang' on a vertical surface without draining down. This non-draining feature is called 'thixotropic'. That term should be clearly identified on resins designed for vertical surfaces.

The resins and other items that are used with the fiberglass... is it still necessary to use in a well ventilated area or have they been formulated to be not as bad? Do you have a video of the safety equipment necessary when using fiberglass and resins etc? Thank you:)

Great info well presented!

Polyester resins and some epoxy resins require good ventilation or a respirator. TAP Plastics Marine Grade Epoxies have no volatiles (the stuff that evaporates and makes it smell), and are much safer to use. They can also be shipped as a non-hazardous item. We have not created a safety video. When working with resins, gloves and safety glasses are appropriate.

very helpful thank you so much.

fantastic video, very nice and helpfull!

Very informative, thanks!

Very, very informative!

excellent. Answered my questions and some that hadn't occurred to me. thanks

Extereamly good and informational but if I don't want to buy 125 yards of s glass is there any way I can vet like 30 feet or somthing

If I wanted to build 16 ft long canoe, that will hold 4 adults, and very little bracing from a female mold, what do you recommend? Thank you very much!

great video thanks for sharing

Very Helpfull, Keep on.

Very Informative !

Nice job. Would love to see how to apply resin to a vertical surface without making a huge mess and having all run to the bottom.

Does any company make a hybrid material made of kevlar and fiberglass. I heard of one called kev-core, but I can't find it. Maybe, its just a dream. For now, I make my own

Thank alot

You should make this mandatory viewing for your employees. I went to one of your stores today and the employee knee nothing. Could not explain to me what E glass was.

Very nice

cool vid many thanks fom Darwin Australia

​I would recommend buying the book, "Building Your Kevlar Canoe." A project like this cannot be explained in a short message. You can find the book at our website.

TAP TAP PLASTICS!!

Muito bom...
