I did my first ever fiberglassing repair job a couple of years ago. I bought a small kit from Walmart. It is not hard to do, but takes a little practice to make it look "OK".

You have to get everthing ready.....cut your material to the correct size and do any prep work [I was doing repair work] first.

After you mix the resin......you only have a few minutes before it hardens.....so work fast, in a small area. After the fiberglass cures.....sand it down some and add another layer, if needed.

I am not sure how you do a large area, like on a pirouge. I guess the risen is mixed so that it does not cure as fast.
