Anybody know why part of it turned black? This is my first time ever using fiberglass and that has confused me quite a bit. It's gonna get popped out tommorow morning.

 

Looks like it may have been mixed too hot (too much catalyst) or maybe not mixed well. I know the hotter I mix the resin the darker it gets.

that ws probably from my last little rushed batch where i mixed in more catalyst to just finish up that area quick.

 

sweet box man...i wanna makeor buy one that will hold 4 jl 10" 3v2 subs

 

OMG
Looking good M

 

Thanks for the comments but it's not anything nice or even a box yet. It's still brown goopy crap and itchy stuff slathered on aluminum foil. Hopefully I won't butcher the rest of it too bad, I'll have more pics as it progresses.

 

MISTERgadget,

What are the basics of doing this. I no nothing about fiberglass but fine it very interesting.

Is it difficult to do, $$, etc..

Thanks a bunch!

 

Pay attention Joe, if you want a glassed box this is what we need to do. Looks good, I love glassing crap.

 

I plan on doing that very soon too!

 

Hey Matias, are you going to the lightning gathering in Old Town Orlando? I'll be heading up there on 25th and staying the weekend, maybe you can make it.

 

WIll you EVER get that smell out of your truck?

 

It'll smell like a boat for a few weeks but eventually the smell will go away.

 

GREAT POST
