Where a fiberglass laminator can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a fiberglass laminator already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Fiberglass laminators mould fiberglass materials to form hulls and boat decks. They read blueprints and use hand and power tools to cut the composite materials. They apply waxes and lacquers, and prepare surfaces for the placement of fiberglass mats. They use resin-saturated fiberglass to bond wood reinforcing strips to cabin structures and decks. They also prepare materials exposing those to the right temperature. They check finished products for defects and make sure they comply with the specifications.
