As stated I am completely new at this.
For the past 10 years I have been having these made out of 26 gauge steel panels.

My thought is that I could use these steel panels as a mold and press the shape out of fiberglass.



I am completely new at this so I will start with some basic questions.

  Is it possible?

  The final panels at 40x48 and made out of a full 4x8 foot sheet. How much fiberglass would you need to make a similar panel.

Thank you in advance and I know I will have more questions.

Still looking for some insight on materials.

Resins... Can you recommend a resin?
       I currently use TotalBoat High Performance Epoxy Resin for woodworking.  Will this also work for fiberglass?
chemical release agent? Recommendation?
Fiberglass recommendation?
