Frequently Asked Questions
Our qualified staff members at Garry’s Collision receive lots of questions every day. We love to share information, offer advice, and explain our processes. Find answers to some of the most common questions we hear regularly below.
Does Fiberglass Break Easily?
Pure fiberglass breaks very easily. However, when supported by other materials, such as plastic, resin, and epoxy, fiberglass becomes quite durable.
​
What Happens If I Touch Fiberglass?
Fiberglass consists of very fine glass particles. If it makes contact with skin, it can cause moderate pain or a rash. However, these side effects dissipate, and briefly coming into contact with fiberglass causes no long-term health risks.
​
Is My Fiberglass Car Safe?
Yes. When everything remains intact, your fiberglass car parts represent safe products. However, when structural damage occurs, it could cause various health issues and requires a professional repair to become safe again.
