This have promise! the staples are gonna make it somewhat difficult to get the hu to sit flush but a layer or two of resin over them will prolly help.

Call me thick headed, but can someone give me the differences between resin and 'glass'. I was under the impression that 'bondo' was the fiber glass.

resin is the liquid that hardens into a solid.
Fiber"glass" is the mat that the resin heats up as it dries. As the resin heats up and melts the fiberglass the glass bonds to the resin forming a much stronger material than the resin would be by itself.
resin liquid
fiberglass - itchy substance that annoys you
glassing - the process of laying the mat and coating it with resin.
and bondo is a completely diff beast

yeahhh I forgot about that - when you look at the photo in photobucket there is an edit option and resize option to make them smaller - use the email (640x480) option.
