I wanted to see how strong poor man's fiberglass would be compared to real fiberglass. Poor man's fiberglass is just an adhesive (paint or glue) along with canvas or cloth. It is a LOT LESS EXPENSIVE but has limitations. It is flexible, difficult to finish nicely, and it is not substantial enough to be able to fasten anything to it. I was actually impressed with the strength of the poor man's fiberglass but decided to go with real fiberglass instead. I want something that will look great and hold up for 10-20 years. Let me know what you think.
