What Is Fiberglass?

Raw fiberglass come in a soft fabric like material. When saturated with liquid resin and harder, it becomes hard and very strong. There are not too many fiberglass auto parts on modern day cars, as they have all started using other composites like SMC and Carbon Fiber. However, fiberglass was on early model corvettes, truck hoods, and many other parts. There are still aftermarket parts that are manufactured from fiberglass and it still used for boats and jet skis.

The Difference Between Fiberglass and Fiberglass Filler

Fiberglass filler comes in a can and is mixed with a cream hardener. It mixes a lot like regular body filler, but it is thicker and a little harder to mix. The filler actually has fiberglass mixed in it. It comes short hair and long hair. This is the length of the fiberglass that is mixed in the filler. Both provide excellent waterproof properties as they do not absorb water. Both fiberglass fillers are stronger than regular body filler. The long hair filler provides the most strength out of the two. However, these fillers are very difficult to sand. The filler is also thick, which makes it hard to level and smooth like regular body filler.

Why Use Fiberglass Filler If It's So Difficult To Sand

The reason we use fiberglass filler in auto body repair is not really the added strength, but for the waterproof properties. It is recommended to apply a thin layer of fiberglass filler over any welding that is performed. Body filler absorbs moister, which will leads to corrosion and rust. By using the fiberglass, we eliminate the moister absorption problem. Since our main purpose is to seal the welded area, the short hair fiberglass is sufficient for the application.

What Can Fiberglass Filler Be Used On

This filler can be used over bare metal or fiberglass.

Finishing The Repair

As I mentioned, fiberglass does not sand well. That is why I recommend only applying a small amount to the welded areas and rough sanding it. After this is done, you can apply body filler on the top of the fiberglass filler and finish the repair as you normally would using body filler.

Warning

You should always wear proper protective equipment when sanding any filler. However, extreme caution should be taken when sanding fiberglass products. It not only itches and irritate your skin, but it is extremely unhealthy to breathed the fiberglass. Be certain to wear an approved dust respiration, gloves, eye protection, and you may even want to wear a disposable paint suit. If some of the fiberglass does get on your skin, take a cold shower. This will help keep your pores small and allow the fiberglass to wash off.

Auto Body Repair?

Ok well my brother got in an accident yesterday and our Intregue got T-Boned by another car. Now this is me and my brother's only source of transportation because my mom and my dad work full time jobs everyday so their rarely home. Is there an auto repair shop in Michigan near Grand Rapids that will possibly be cheap to fix a very banged up rear driver side door. And a major dent in the driver door and some scatches on both doors too. And also which im assuming will be the most the rear driver side wheel is wobbly so im assuming maybe the axel is bent or the part where the brake is bent.

Please anybody

Body shops (especially with that kind of job) are very expensive... I would suggest getting used doors at the junkyard (probably have to be ordered by the yard) and trying to install them yourself, just remember to switch out the door locks with your old ones so that your key still works, most liely it will be mismatched with the paint so you'll probably have to spray paint them before you put them on (its actually not that hard to match up paints), a wobbley steering wheel is probably broken tie rods, they run about $40 eatch and arent too bad to replace, not to costly either to replace at a shop... well, thats the best I can suggest to ya, if you find a cheap body shop, remember that you get what you pay for...good luck
