General advice for Makers with some notes relevant to the composites industry, such as using cardboard as a base for resin/glass.

−	* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujk-wBQDUSk Fiberglassing Tutorial by Greg Hahn. A generally good tutorial. Although he uses epoxy, some of the tips and techniques (such as buying a box of cheap brushes, and removing bristles before using) are relevant. One thing he doesn't mention is the use of either spray or laminating rollers. For example, trying to brush out matte (instead of the roving he uses) would not be practical and a roller would work better.
