easiest way that I've found is to register a free account at one of those picture hosting sites, such as photobucket.com. Then, upload the photo to photobucket. After that, you will see a box under the picture which says "direct link" copy that link, paste it into your iBoats post, and your picture should appear.

Re: Which fiberglass to use

we really need more info on what you are attempting to glass......

however.....if you are using polyester resin.....you must use chopped strand mat and cloth.....if you use epoxy.....just cloth.

the reason for the chopped strand mat with poly ....is that bond will be far stronger....cloth alone will most likely fail.

I love epoxy.
