Re: applying fiberglass resin on new floor wood

The easiest way to apply it is to use a paint roller and tray with liners. Depending on the type fiberglass you are using you are going to need up to a quart at a time. I would start with about 1/2 to 3/4 quart and kick it with the minimum of MEKP. Mix it for a few minutes real well and pour it in the pan.
Roll it on to wood until it is wet with resin. Lay the cloth/ mat in place and roll resin on to it until it soaks through. Do the next layer the same way, but you will not need as much resin for that layer if you work each one wet and let them cure all together. The more MEKP you use, the faster it will cure. Use the minimum amount and mix it very well. You will have plenty of time.
