Forgot hardener...

This is just fibreglass for a garden ponds, trying to make small ponds for cascading waterfall.

Forgot the hardener, so I poured it into a spray bottle and sprayed it on afterwards. Also went back and applied some further layers, this time with hardener. I am sure it will not look great - I just hope it cures. It will all be painted with epoxy and the covered with a dam plastic fabric - just need the structural support.

Will this cure at all is the questions...

How to get face off Toys R Us display

My son bought these two Toys R Us displays from Marketplace and we are having trouble fitting them through the door to the basement. All of our troubles would be fixed if we could remove the face, but it appears it is screwed in to fiberglass and from what Google told us, it’s risky to remove the screws (if we even can) as it might crack and damage the fiberglass. Does anyone have experience removing something like this? I really don’t want these to live in my dining room!

Sea-Doo Hull Repair Help

I have a 2020 RXT that has damage on the V of the hull. I was noticing a damp spot under the hull while it was on the trailer so I filled the hull with water to see if it was leaking and sure enough, there is a very slow weep (if you will) of about a drop every hour.

Hull is comprised of two-layers, an exterior acrylic (plastic) layer and fiberglass composite. I've been doing some research and I'm wondering if this proposed repair will work.

Grind down the damage until structurally sound fiberglass is visible.
Fill in exterior area with G/Flex 655 epoxy adhesive.
Reinforce interior with polyester resin and matting.

Any thoughts or advice is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

What went wrong, how do i avoid it?

The part here is made out of ABS, its the mudguard from a triumph.
I tried making the mould out of this part, applied gelcoat for the first layer, then iso polyester resin and the gp resin, the iso and gp where applied on chopped fiberglass.

I also applied a lot of pva release agent (the blue visible in the mould), how do i avoid this in the future

Restoring our 16ft action

Pretty much have to redo stringers, deck, paint, gel coat, steering cables, electronics, and trailer.
Any suggestions on how to get epoxy and glass that won’t break the bank?

Help? What is this?

Found this in the middle of fire pit after burning last night and it didn’t seem to burn, I’m a little worried about playing with it and wondering if it’s asbestosis or not.

Repair tips

How would you go about repairing this? Thinking about just throwing some 3M super weatherstrip adhesive on but maybe there’s something better for the job
