bubbaisme: 2 layers of mat with resin. I ended up putting 4 layers of mat and resin on the fender stay.

bubbaisme: more hot melt glue to hold everything in place while fiberglassing

bubbaisme: temporary hot glue gun to hold fender in place until stays are glassed to fender. You can see the slip joint on the stay. That is how you get the stays off. The slip joints will be pinned after everything is done.
