Diagram of spray-up process. Spray-Up also known as chop method of creating fiberglass objects by spraying short strands of glass out of a pneumatic gun. This method is used often when one side of the finished product is not seen, or when large quantities of a product must be made cheaply and quickly with moderate strength requirements. [1]
Start by applying the epoxy to the fiberglass sheet. Continue carefully but quickly until all areas are sufficiently covered by the epoxy. Next, start at one end of the material to be strengthened and stick the epoxy covered fiberglass to the material, being sure to smooth out any bubbles that may form between the material and fiberglass.

Adhesives and finishes that are cementless harden by the evaporation of water. Adhesives come in two forms: The most common is in a plastic pail as a paste, to which Portland cement is added and as dry powders in sacks, to which water is added. Finishes come in a plastic pail, ready to use, like paint. EIFS insulation comes in individual pieces ...
Plywood is a common example of a laminate using the same material in each layer combined with an adhesive. Glued and laminated dimensional timber is used in the construction industry to make beams (glued laminated timber, or Glulam), in sizes larger and stronger than those that can be obtained from single pieces of wood.
Once the release agent and gelcoat are applied, layers of fiberglass and resin are laid-up onto the surface. The fiberglass used will typically be identical to that which will be used in the final product. In the laying-up process, a layer of fiberglass mat is applied, and resin is applied over it. A special roller is then used to remove air ...
Three techniques are known to be utilized, being slightly different depending on the nature of the composite, as shown in Figure 4. Figure 4: Typical laminate and sandwich repairs When a composite repair is applied the proper surface treatment is essential for a successful result.
G-10 or garolite is a high-pressure fiberglass laminate, a type of composite material. [1] It is created by stacking multiple layers of glass cloth, soaked in epoxy resin, then compressing the resulting material under heat until the epoxy cures. [2] [3] It is manufactured in flat sheets, most often a few millimeters thick.
