OUR Expertise

Open Molding
​The most common method of production where fiberglass is applied using a "chopper" gun.
Closed Molding
​This method uses dry fiberglass cloth that is placed between two halves of a sealed mold.
Hand Lay-up
​Hand lay-up uses fiberglass cloth that is saturated with resin and laid into the mold by hand.

Mold Building

Pattern Work
​Patterns are a mock-up of the desired part used to create the mold.

Damaged the back and keel of boat when taking off the trailer (it fell off onto the cement boat ramp). Brought it in to Carstens for repair. Scotty not only did a fantastic job, he did it in an unbelievable time frame and at a reasonable cost. Good vibes seem to be the norm around here. I've found my fiberglass repair nirvana.

Carstens Industries, Inc. is a very well organized, tidy and fiscally well managed facility. They are deeply concerned to provide a clean and healthy work place for their employees, and this level of concern is reflected in the quality of their product. I would highly recommend them as a reliable and trustworthy vendor.

Top notch speedy service for repairs on my old Pintail. Almost a new boat in under a week. Best marsh/rice boats on the market in my opinion. We have 2 Pintails and 1 Mallard in our camp.

Top of the line duck boats and the new deer blinds are the best in the industry! Great customer service with friendly sales representatives.
