Fiberglass basics - Ack! Your tips needed

Hey Guys,

I would like to learn how to do fiberglass for automotive use. In particular, my long-range plans are for a full aero-cap for my pickup truck

I really know absolutely nothing about fiberglass, but for me, sometimes it best just to try something. Yesterday, I picked up some 3M brand resin, fiberglass cloth, and rubber gloves, and then did a little test fiberglassing today over some foam.

(You can read about that on my blog.)

So far, I've learned that fiberglass eats foam and it is terrible sticky! (Smells bad too!)

Any good general tips for working with fiberglass? If you know of a good book or on-line resource, please let me know.
