Fibreglass LaserTaggers

Welcome to my fibreglass laser taggers using the MilesTag system I live in Scotland so some of you might find it had to unerstand my accent in the videos, but I'm sure you'll figure it out. lol

If this site has help you!  You can help us a small donation to our Children's Charity Group could make a BIG differance to our charity at www.ochilexplorers.com Many Thanks

These are two of the 17 taggers made in fibreglass, a new model is in progress at the moment will post when the MDF model is built.

                    Fibreglass taggers just from the mould.



This is a list of what you need, don't need many tools for fibreglassing, but you'll need a mouse sander and a good knife for finishing off, check out my blog for the how to videos. Do not buy epoxy resin or woven mat.
My Videos show you everything else.
 
Shopping list
450g (1.5 oz) Chopped Strand Matting-3 kg / 6.6 sq mt £10.95 Not woven
Chopped Strands - 6 mm-5 KG £15.50 If can't get, order more mat then use Sissors cut
General purposeployester Resin - (including catalyst)- 2 x 5Kg £30.00 Not epoxy
Polyester Gel-Coat - RAL 7024 graphite grey-2.5 KG £16.95 Whatever colour you like
Blue Matt PVA Release Agent-1 Lt £5.95 Matt let you see when its dry
Extra Catalyst/hardner - Medium Reactivity - MEKP-1 Kg £6.00 Also need for cleaning brushes
Honeywax 14 oz Tin-1 Tin £12.25 Most waxes will do
Nitrile Gloves 100 Large-Pack of 100 £4.99 Maybe think about a mask for the dust
Wooden Spatula mixing sticks-Box of 100 £2.98 Save using the wifes kitchen stuff
1" wooden handle brushes- 2 x Boxes of 12 £6.40 Found this size best for tagger building
Sub Total: £111.97

I also used a colour pigmet in each resin mix to keep the colour running through the whole tagger, this helps stop showing any scratches on the tagger. S00g tin about £8.00 Just need a very small bit on the end of the mixing stick for each mix Also Flex additive if you can get if as this makes the tagger less prone to chips.

This amount should make 10-12 Taggers plus one mold, divide if you intend to make less, this works out just over £10 per case base on UK prices. Hope this is what your looking for. Scorpy
