<DIV><FONT size=2>I need to know what type of epoxy and release agent ( if I
need that ) to get to make some fiberglass rings. Let me describe what I am
trying to make, and tell me if I am totally off base here, and what I need to do
to accomplish my task, if you can.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I need to make about "6" Fiberglass rings. They need to be 4"
in diameter, and about 2" wide. I have some 2" wide fiberglass cloth that is
fairly heavy, and I plan to use that for the material. When they dry, I need to
be able to make cut in them, so the ring can be spread open, and the ring needs
to have some "spring back" to it, just slightly, so it needs to be sorta
stiff.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I have found that a 3 1/2" PVC coupler is a perfect side for
the ring if I wrap the material on the outside. So is a glass Miracle Whip jar (
;-) - Hey guys, I'm not a glass guru, but I do have a degree in MacGyver !
)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Can I put release agent on the coupler, or the far, wrap my
glass on this, and will it work ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>What working time epoxy do I need ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Would Carbon Fiber Tape be better ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Where should I get it ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>How much is a round trip ticket to your workshop so you can
teach me ??? < bigger grin ></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I truly appreciate any help you can give. I can also send you
pictures of a mock up that I did, not full size, but will give you the
idea.</FONT></DIV>
