The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Last night my gas tank got tipped over in the garage and sat there all night. (glares at house mate) Not MUCH gas leaked but enough to ruin the paint job I did a couple of years ago. :cry:

So now I know I'm going to have to repaint the tank at least and I also have a Pichler fairing I want to put on that I've had for a couple of years. Using this fairing means learning to make a mold and layup fiberglass to adapt the headlight opening.

Thanks for any leads,

I've built a couple small wooden boats

I've built a couple small wooden boats

in my day, and the websites concerning the use of plywood as a substrate for fiberglas and epoxy resin usually deviated into the subject of mold making and glas usage. A few of them had great tutorials.
 
Check out fibreglast.com, they have a forum. Also, check out West Marine, they have some online periodicals that delve n to this.
 
Thanks for the great links and suggestions! This is pretty much exactly what I need. I'm planning to get a few broken plastics from a local shop and try out some things on those, then once I get a technique perfected I want to make a new headlight section for my pichler fairing.... once I get THAT done I want to try making some reproduction and maybe redesigned GS750EF lowers.
