well i went and got 4 yards of fleece its like sweatshirt fleece about the same thing as t-shirt fleece. got it for 2 bucks a yard.

 

Edit: Does it usally take alot of resin to do the fleece cuz i just did 2 sides (front and one side) and i've used alot of resin doin it and i cant really get it soaked that good...

Posted

well i finally got it rather nice lookin on 2 sides but yea it needs work. Thanks for your help guys

Hey i got another ? do i need to put fiberglass over top of the fleece? or just like 2 lays of resin? and it didn't dry to smooth either so it needs sanded alot

Posted

If you want to use the fiberglass matting itself, use it on the non-visible side of the fleece(the underside). The matting is a bitch to sand.

is it possible to fiberglass over plastic? some sites i read say you can ,some say you cant at all, and some say its a huge pain.

Posted

they say it won't stick, i have yet to try it, but my cousin did it on his coloum for a gauge pod and it worked. What he did was cut a few holes in the plastic so the fiberglass had something to grab onto.

for some reason i have a feeling that im goin to have to bondo the entire thing really good cuz the box is extremly ruff even after i sanded it

If it is a sealed box, it needs the added stiffness. Ported boxes it helps, but the bass obviously is not under pressure as much

That looks pretty kool all glossy. That stuff makes a good glaze finish on plastic. but if you fiberglass a flat piece on plastic it will peel right off. I like the skull, is that resined to the console?

the skull is fiberglass, yes. then the rest of the console is coated in resin jelly as well.
