After the frame was glued together and set, I glued in the top from a cooking spray can that was the perfect size to act as the eye hole. The next step was to mix up the fiberglass resin and pour it in with some "Tiger Hair" (fiberglass weave cut up to make a cottony substance).
About and hour after I poured it, the resin was set up, so I took it out of the mold.
I then got out my trusty jitterbug sander and some 60 grit sandpaper and went to knockin the rough edges off. After about a half hour of sanding, this is what she looks like now.
The resin I used was really old and had some weak spots. Gonna take a lot more sanding and filling, but it will get there. This whole process cost me $3, due to the fact i had to buy posterboard.
**Edit** Got some good solid filling and sanding done. Shot a little primer .... Here she is..
