Do a Google for Chopper Gun. Basically they chop a yarn of glass and
blow it into a stream of polyester. Choppers are not the best method for a DIY builder. A chopper gun rig is not cheap and takes a fair degree of skill to set up and use properly. If the mix is not perfect you end up with an uneven cure and greatly increase the probability of blistering. The layup is weaker so it has to be thicker and heavier than hand layup. Choppers are loosing favor even in the low end mass production area because of polution laws. Spraying polyester produces large amounts of VOCs floating around. If the EPA dosn't come down on you for violating half a dozen laws the neighbors definitely will. It is just less expensive to use a more modern closed mold layup method like infusion than pay for all the equipment needed to stay legal. |

True indeed! A lot of messy stuff to deal with even if I'm not in the EPA's
jurisdiction ![]() If the EPA dosn't come down on you for violating half a dozen laws the neighbors definitely will. |
