You'll need to use fiberglass hairs in the resin to fiberglass bond.

Default Do you have a pic of what you are doing? From the sounds of it you are trying to bond fiberglass to

to heat wrap, which is fiberglass based but resin alone won't make the two stick together. You need to add fiberglass hairs to strengthen the area between the wrap and the glass, since resin alone won't do it. Fiberglass hairs are basically a shedded mat of fiberglass so you can fill in cracks, gaps and other irregular sufaces.
