it this slippery on snow? thinking of making a snowskate

[TattooTom69]

It can be slippery on snow but you need to make sure you have a very smooth surface. It is best to gel coat it after doing all the fiberglass work. Boats have a gel coat on them and they are built from a mold inside out, so the gel coat goes down first then the fiberglass work, then the mold is removed leaving a very smooth outside surface.

@dtvardy Who cares about the danger, it is the mess I can't stand.

@dtvardy "These chemicals have a cumulative effect when absorbed through the skin, and you may get away with sloppiness for years then suddenly develop an agonizing, lifelong allergic reaction to resin and catalyst. The homebuilt aircraft world is full of sad stories about people who sold their partially-built planes after careless habits made dealing with fiberglass impossible."

[dtvardy]

@Hraggleblarg sounds like a real bad deal.

is fiberglass flexible?

[TattooTom69]

It is to a point if it is a very thin wall. Very flexible during application but after the resin is added and it is set up then it is very hard, tough and water proof.

[sail247]

ok so some longboard skateboards are crazy flexy and fiber glass what kind of glass is it?

[TattooTom69]

They are most likely carbon fiber. Basically the same but stronger and more flexible. Just remember, if it is thin enough and long enough either will flex but regular fiberglass will eventually crack and break. They also might be using a resin that gives it more flexibility than what we use. We use a type of resin that makes it very hard, used mainly on boats. Hope this helps.
