They might, they might not.

Personally I like my stuff to be standable, but if you can flex it with your hand, I'd add more.

it's one of the most useful tools I have for fiberglass, and many other things, well worth $60 IMO

x2, wayyy faster at cutting fb in my experience, wish i had bought it b4 i started my project rather than during. a jigsaw blade gets owned by fb pretty quickly, but if u break a dremel disc, u have like 20 spares and theyre cheap as hell.

wrinkles will give you many problems. you can streatch the wrinkles out.

you can but thats just more work and you're more susceptible to air pockets if u dont fill in the wrinkles well. just keep stretching it till it's straight.
