Re: obs glass armrests
you would get better results using gelcoat to keep the texture. Here is how I would go about it:
-wax the armrest pads with Partall Paste (release wax product) -Brush on a couple coats of PVA (release film, air dries) -Then spray or even brush on a couple layers of gelcoat. -When gelcoat is fully cured, do a few layers of fiberglass. -Pop the armrest out, trim your mold, and repeat the steps again and when done you will have a perfect gelcoated mold. http://www.partall.com/part.htm It is alot easier than it seems. Gelcoat requires same MEKP hardener as the resin. Both the PVA and wax you can get from Partall. Its just a matter of finding a place that carries them. check this out: http://youtube.com/watch?v=62AGalE5P6g
