    well that all depends i used to help one of my boys do it and really all you do is make a frame out of particle board, get some mesh tape or paper (not sure what its really called) wrap it around it and gunk it up on there let it dry and sand your ass off.....look around on ask.com or something....thats about all i know which isnt shit but its alot easier to do than to explain...trial and error and error and error thats how i do it

    yes.

    Its not really easy to type specific instructions for something like this...While it is not the most difficult thing in the owrld, it is hard to explain.

    btw.... "felt" might not be the best thing to use. Typically, we use "fleece" it has better "stretch" qualities, and soaks up a lot of resin...

    Just search around google for fiberglassing tutorials and stuff like that, here is the first link i found: http://www.ajquick.com/cars/tutorials/fiberglass.php

    There are a bunch out there...once you understand the general idea the only real way to get better at is practice...
