Saw this little tid bit on a motorcycle restoration thread about fixing a fiberglass tank. Thought I would share.
Ever been working on a prop and only need a little bit of Fiberglass cloth to finish? Dont want to make a run to Home Depot or spend the $$$?
Dryer Sheets my friends. Yes the 'Make Your Clothes Smell Fresh Dryer Sheets' we all use and just throw away.
You need to thoroughly wash them to get rid of any detergent and then they can be pressed flat with an iron and cut to size.:thumbsup IIRC they are made out of polysomething and react in the same manner as glass cloth.
In the video I watched, the guy layered up a couple sheets to patch some 3-4' holes in a motorcycle gas tank. Im going to give it a try to reinforce some stress points on my USCM armor.
