 Recently came across this in the garbage. It's a chair like a two-person chair This is a fiberglass chunk. It's in pretty rough shape Obviously, it's on its side. This is the bottom and that's the back It also has a stainless steel frame that like kind of holds it Here's the frame some of it is in really good shape But then this part is really I mean it was been in salt water even though it's Stainless steel that's you know the salt water will still rust if it's not really high quality stainless steel and You know, it's got two of the legs, but the other two legs are broken off. I think I'm not going to use this I'm gonna end up cutting this up and using it for some other things now this thing I want to still use it as a chair because Pretty good Not sure what it'll do for legs yet but first I just want to Fix this part up and I'm thinking if I put fiberglass along the back because this is made out of fiberglass And I'm hoping it's polyester resin not Epoxy, but it's probably polyester resin because epoxy is a lot more expensive And this doesn't look like it was that expensive of a thing. So anyway, I've started by taping paper pieces over Any holes I find in the paper I've waxed it on one side. So if I put fiberglass here, it won't stick to the paper It'll fill in the hole and I'll be able to take this off Now What am I gonna do to fix this corner? I need some kind of like little mold thing to go over this They want to put the fiberglass in there. It'll fix the corner And that one over there is in the same condition the ones at the top are looking good though Yeah, if I can just get these two corners figured out Should be able to slap a layer or two of fiberglass over this whole thing And it should be strong another reason I want to do this is because I happen to have most of a gallon of polyester resin That I had to get for something where I just need to do this little repair on a boat So I've got most of a gallon sitting there and that should be enough to do this chair Well, I decided it wasn't necessary to get these curves perfect so I just put some Tape over with some waxed paper that should be good enough and That and that hole are the only ones I had to do everything else looks fine There's some little butt drain holes so the chair doesn't fill with water. I can just re-drill those after I Gotta make sure I put some extra fiberglass Reinforcement in here because there's a crack there And you know a little extra on the other side just to reinforce it so it doesn't Yeah, I think it's pretty much ready to go. Oh fiberglass It's like a good spot. I've got a bag here of lots of fiberglass scraps Hopefully there's a few pieces I can put on here and Arrange correctly Here's that polyester resin. I've got leftover from something else most of a gallon Should be enough if it's not. I don't have any more. So oh Wow, this is just a lot of little scraps Well, they will work. So I might as well do it. Oh, should I just go cut a new big piece off a roll? Problem is these are just gonna sit here for the next 20 years doing nothing if I don't use them All right, let's do it Well, those bits of fiberglass definitely got smaller than I was hoping Whatever though, they'll all mush together when I get the resin on there It's actually a few days later now Looking pretty good Time to trim the edges The worst part of fiberglass No, this is not the worst part of fiberglass Sanding, that's gotta be the worst part of fiberglass Darn! Darn, I need both hands for this. All right, Cameron. All right That wasn't so bad I just need to get a bit of sandpaper Smooth that out I don't want to touch it because I'm gonna get itchy Oh, sandpaper All right, I had some little tape fixes here. Let's see how those went That's pretty good Good enough Not beautiful, but totally good enough Fiberglass reinforcements did pretty well Much sturdier than it was Yeah, I also found some white paint No, not really the color I would have chosen, but I had it so whatever Also, it's a little bit pink because my roller Previously, he was using red. Anyway, it's also dirty because my kid's been playing with it So this thing's been sitting around for a week or two Because I've been waiting to finish this fancy new kitchen area so This guy is gonna be seating on this side. So now that this is done I can figure out what height this needs to be and you know, put the appropriately length legs and everything I think that looks about right. I still got a lot of fiberglass stuff left over from this Boat roof rack thing Can't say angle grinding fiberglass is my favorite. Luckily, there's a good breeze taking the dust away so Got this guy And I'm thinking I could rivet it Just on the inside of there And another one for the other side and I'll make two pieces back here and then Then I'll worry about the reinforcements. Let me get those four legs on first Offer some reinforcements Definitely need something to cross here That's pretty good Maybe that's all it needs. Mostly the kids are gonna sit in this and they weigh Nothing. I'm calling it done The kitchen is open for kids Kids are definitely gonna stand on the back of this. All right Yeah, that's cool Huh looks like my camera only has a few more seconds of memory left in it. I don't know what happens when it runs out Oh, hi Hey, you're supposed to sit there. Ah, pretty good, dude Do you want do you want to sit right here? Or do you want to sit there? You think three of you will fit? Okay, sit right here. I Guess
