English?

I would really like to get some information from this thread, but I am having a very hard time understanding anything that is written. I tried using an online language converter, but I am not sure what language to tell the converter to use to translate it to English.

With the lack of any real pictures and proper English descriptions of the pictures this information is fairly useless.

This is complete gibberish to me :? I would find it much easier to split an atom than understanding your explanation here Glassice. No disrespect intended but is it possible to explain this in simpler, easier terms.

Same here Mate. I cannot understand why the hitch cover has anything to do with fenders. Or fireplace wood for that matter :?

From what I can gather.. he is taking us through building a wooden form to make the fiberglass fenders. Earlier in the post I believe he mentioned using foam between the two boards, now he is suggesting to use sheet rock mud a.k.a spackle to fill and shape the fender, leaving just enough room to use Bondo. The sheet rock mud sands real easy, but needs to be sealed with Bondo, which will stand up to the wet sanding (block sanding) that is required.

I'm not sure why he recommends latex before the epoxy though.

You have taken your time to make ,it look like your trailer then you put the same old fe .... on you are making a buck for what you want it to look like so add some shape to it fireplace mantel's have small shapes in them Ice box magnets have shapes that can be splach in to the fiberglass This is the only buck that i did pic. of back in07 and sold and have 1 set of fe..... will try to load more pic latex paint will let small cracks that you get when the mud drys will not show in the epoxe paint and ep paint dose not fell the sand paper as fast Image back of box spacer sheet rock mudImage you can not say the fe... word and not getting some up set. You can not help but sand in to the mud so don't fight it . When your ready to do the glass this is all you need if just starting out get a pack of paint pan liners IF SOME TELL you to use just the pan just smile they have no clue don"t even buy the panImage When start to do glass 8 to 16 oz at a time is best to work with that all the liner will hold when you mix mek in it can be in a deep pan but as time goes by you want it as thin as you can get it and the liners will lay flat and if it sets up new cheep pan not stopping to clean just 1 pan
