custom fiberglass questions

hey guys, I have done a handful of projects with fiberglass but most of them have been just boxes molded into trunks, and basic custom trunks.  I want to expand my ability for glassing so I have been researching other techniques.  I have a couple questions about certain products that I heard about.  I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help clarify some of these products for me, such as what they are and where I can get them.

1.Icing? It looked like a white filler type substance, have no idea what it is

2.liquid plastic? something I would really like to get a hold of, looks like a easy way of forming things

3.ca glue? have no clue

4.Another thing I seen was that after the installers finished forming something they "textured" their projects to give it that stock texture, or like the texture of dash kits.  I would really like to know how they texture their projects

     Thanks for any advice and answers you guys might have.  If you could also inform me as to where I can pick these products.  Stay creative!                               THANKS Y'ALL

1. Icing is a brand name for a drywall filler type composistion...  just like a regular body filler but very easy to sand. Icing doesn't offer any structural support. always start with a reinforced type filler first.... icing is just to get a smooth surface fast.

2. Just like it sounds. It's a structural filler that is made to bond to plastic surfaces. There a hundreds of different liquid plastics. Same type of results can be achived with duraglass.

3. ca glue. I have no clue either.... i see no reason for it.... never needed it yet.  I use crazy glue for quick holding and helmiprene for surface bonding (the BEST spray adhesive).

4. The most common texture application is SEM texture coat..... good stuff but you need to test match it, more often than not, the finish doesn't match. This really sucks.

You can get any of these products from a METRA dealer, metra carries the Fishman line of custom install accessories. These are not alway Fish brand, but they are specially selected products in your area by fishman himself. You can trust it's the right stuff if you order this way. And it's a hell of alot cheaper than Select products.

Any other questions?  just fire away.... there happens to be some real fabricaton geeks on here
