As I say, not impossible to automate, but a devil of a product to do so.

In prison one of the inmates was telling me how much money there was in taking a mold of car parts and using a chop gun to fabricate fiberglass replacements. I imagine he was a wizard. He said he fabricated the burlap sack slide featured at the Oregon State Fair.

Still doesn't answer my question as to why it cost so much for glass mat and resin. Someone's making a million bucks.
