Glue for fiberglass and fleece

Hey guys,

I used spray glue for fleece, but don't FG over it.  Someone else mentioned using silicon caulk.  Another used a rabbet joint at the edge & staples.  For the dowels, I used FG resin with thickening agent (cabosil-aerosil), basically some inert thickener.  Make it as thick as possible but still somewhat stir-able.  Worked very well.

I've only done this twice, so obviously not a pro!

I have always seen people saying that they use a glue gun for the dowels, although I would really try and cement it in with a small peice of FG after to make sure that it isn't going anywhere since the Hot glue gun doesn't create that strong of a bond!

Why can't you FG over fleece that has been Spray glued? I planned on doing it this week when sealing the fleece & resin front mold to the existing back mold....was that description good enough?

Because the resin will melt the spray glue and your fleece will come undone before it hardens. Then you get too yank it off and start all over again. That would'nt be too much fun.   

I have always read that everybody used the hot glue gun but I just wasnt sure if that was the best method. So I figured i'd ask everybody.

hmmm, that's weird.

I have used the spray glue and it worked for me? I even had to pull a piece of lycra off and pull it tighter because of wrinkles and then glue it again..........maybe it's because I use Lycra to stretch over the mold.
