I appreciate it palNoticed there's no anti-itch advice on here for you. Guys on car shop shows on TV put a lot of store in baby powdering yourself all over. They have the best gear, including plastic 1-piece long sleeve/glove, and the right kind of bunny suit. Tape tight around suit ankles and wrist. Use a respirator, not for the itch, for your continued good health.
As I'm a veteran of the HVACR field you'd think I know all there is about insulation fiberglass and its god-awful itch, but I don't. No matter what I still itch, being in the same room with it gets me itching. Experience has only taught me not to put the itchy clothes in the same basket with other clothes, wash completely separate from other clothes for at least 3 wash days before mixing with the others.
The concept I'm workin' is that this "is" the baseWow. Now I see what you meant about keeping it pliable, that's a drastic amount of flexing the cured 'glass. You could really benefit from a couple of pieces of board cut in that curve shape for use as bucks to hold that shape while you lay on/pack on more 'glass on the underside.
Yup, that seems about rightIs this link below the right kind of stuff for the kind of thing you're doing, and with the cloth is it the right price? Or way out of the ballpark?
I'm considering doing a small project myself now, and like you I'm not well experienced with fiberglass.
