Autobody type work, I need help please.?

Hey, I’m 16 and I for sure have a full time summer job at RTM North… But, I’m trying to figure out what I can learn before I start working, so I can get better hours, and work on harder things… get paid more, etc. But, as it is now.. I know nothing. xD.

having worked in the industry I would say its an on the job learning thing. that doesnt mean you cant learn elsewhere.

Learn all you can about molds of all types and composite molds in particular. Learn about fiberglass and resins and especially tooling gelcoat. Learn about matt and woven roving and other fiber types. there are many sites that explain all this stuff. Most suppliers of resins and fibers have literature you can have free.

One tip i would give you is NEVER wear synthetic fiber clothing in a fiberglass shop. 100% cotton only. Fiberglass itch is hell and synthetics make it 10 times worse. and get yourself some lanolin for your hands you ll thank me later.

ts easy to make an absolute mess in that trade so work extra clean and you can make it acceptable.

if you want to impress the guys then be the kid who is willing to learn and eager to do whatever is required, that will make them appreciate you. No one will mind if you keep asking to try things like rolling out or wetting out or whatever, keep learning and soon you ll be trusted with a chopper gun (which they likely use)etc.

That industry is one with a high turnover because of the chemicals, smell and fiber itch so half the battle will just be hanging in there. You DO get used to it after a while and if you stick it out, chances are you ll be the only one left standing.
