Fiberglass vs PMF cost estimation
Posted: Thu Jan 14, 2021 12:28 pm
I did some cost estimation about Fiberglass and PMF in my location Quebec Canada.
So the goal is to do a foamie (more an enclosed utility trailer than a camper) 64 inch width x 130 inch length x 72 inch height.
A total of 302 sq feet with the bottom that need to protected since it will be a removable pod to be bolt on my existing utility trailer
Here's the price I found near by
fiberglass 6oz 38 po 8.75/yard
epoxy 99.60$/gallon about 50 sq feet coverage
Minwax polycrylic 60$/gallon about 250 sq feet coverage
titebond2 42$/gallon unknow coverage
Epoxy fiberglass
Cloth 38 yards 332$
Epoxy 6 gallons 604$
Total 936$
Polycrylic fiberglass
Cloth 38 yards 332$
Polycrylic 2 gallons 120$
Total 452$
PMF
9x12 drop cloth 180$
TitebondII 2 gallons 84$
Total 264$
I'm looking to finish the inside with 1/8 Luan.
I was going to select polycrylic fiberglass since I read somewhere that there is not a big difference in cost for fiberglass vs PMF.
But regarding the result here I will go for PMF!
Any thought?
Thanks Dan
