How hard is fiberglass to work with?

I purchased the materials tonight and now need to learn how to use them. I'm loooking for some good links in laying up fiberglass. Rear fender skirts were fairly easy (built from 1/8" Garlon semi ridged gasket material that is very tough,) but i'm wondering if front ones would be of value. They have to stick out so far to take in the turnout of the wheels. I was thinking of a lower grill block that incorporated an air dam from fiberglass. The rear wheel skirts and a ducktape grill block got me over the 50 mpg wall.
