How do they match: Fiberglass Laminators and Fabricators

  • Laminate layers of fiberglass on molds to form boat decks and hulls, bodies for golf carts, automobiles, or other products.

  • Apply layers of plastic resin to mold surfaces prior to placement of fiberglass mats, repeating layers until products have the desired thicknesses and plastics have jelled.
  • Check completed products for conformance to specifications and for defects by measuring with rulers or micrometers, by checking them visually, or by tapping them to detect bubbles or dead spots.
  • Pat or press layers of saturated mat or cloth into place on molds, using brushes or hands, and smooth out wrinkles and air bubbles with hands or squeegees.
  • Trim excess materials from molds, using hand shears or trimming knives.

  • Build production molds.
  • Clean production equipment.
  • Inspect production equipment.
  • Measure dimensions of completed products or workpieces to verify conformance to specifications.
  • Select production input materials.
