How do they match: Fiberglass Laminators and Fabricators

  • Apply lacquers and waxes to mold surfaces to facilitate assembly and removal of laminated parts.
  • 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 all dies, templates, and cutout patterns to be used in the manufacturing process to ensure that they conform to dimensional data, photographs, blueprints, samples, or customer specifications.
  • 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.
  • Mask off mold areas not to be laminated, using cellophane, wax paper, masking tape, or special sprays containing mold-release substances.

  • Apply adhesives to construction materials.
  • Apply parting agents or other solutions to molds.
  • Apply water or solutions to fabrics or apparel.
  • Measure dimensions of completed products or workpieces to verify conformance to specifications.
