[QUOTE="ObTechAudio, post: 8518276, member: 660912"] Yes, the glassing. What we did and I find it to be extremely easy and will keep your build clean is using fleece. We staple gunned the s-h-i-t out of the fleece to the box and then stretched the fleece very tight to the pillar door gasket. Please note that our staples were done inside and then the fleece folder over them. By doing this, you create a fairly hard shell that is easy to lay layers of mat over. Sanding becomes easy as well. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/OZgFATJ.jpg[/IMG] See how there are no staples to be seen? That's because we stapled to the box first, and then pulled snug. We got a big box of office paper clamps and used the smaller sets to hold it firm to the pillar where the door gasket will eventually wrap around it. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/iyeDVNM.jpg[/IMG] Applied a good amount of resin. Left it for a long time to harden completely.
