Nearing the end of my limited supply of aviation fiberglass from the 50s, I tried making my own fiberglass semi-cylinder with a mold made out of a bucket.
I sorta liked the result, but I didn’t know what to do with it, or how exactly to make a lamp with it (where does the light socket fit in?) I tried again a few weeks later, mixing in white gel coat to give it some opacity.
I didn’t allow the resin to saturate the fiberglass mat enough, so I was less pleased with this result.
The uneven surface texture reminded me of the moon when light shone through it.
