Meh, south florida...southwest.
Got down to 50, eh? Eh?!

With the humidty it still was kinda chilly...that and the wind was going.

No glass tonight, but I got two more gallons of resin today.

It was chilly in Orlando this morning. It will probably be cold* tonight.

*Florida cold which is roughly 50 degrees...

Alright, did more glassin tonight, untill it got too dark to see with the little bit of daylight left.

 

Tried out pouring my resin ahead of time, and using smaller cups.

 

 

Mmm, a big ole roll of glass

 

Tried it out, didn't work too well because the glass is kinda thick, 13.5 oz per yard, and it'd pull the wet glass off a little...eventually just ripped the excess apart and applied in smaller chunks.

 

Could not see anymore, called it a night...I finished the layer and put glass on the sides, and did a second layer in some areas.

Cups/ect tossed about

 

Ah my hand is covered in the power from all those pairs of gloves!

 

 

I spilled an 8 oz cup of resin in the middle there, and went ahead and layered some glass on it, no need to waste resin!

question........if this is going to actually be a structural part of your enclosure.....why didnt you use wood for the most part?

Not very expensive at all. hmmm like...5 bucks at max?

uhh wood? It's there to seal the box/semi structure but it's lined up against metal so it's not like it'll flex easily...There will be bracing throughout the fuker, I got two 2x4's and 2 sheets of mdf waiting for when I get ready to do the baffle in the front and the false floor. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

a wooden floor would have A) been far stronger than the glass and B) FAR FAR FAR cheaper. all your doing it seems is making a bottom of your box in essence.

just trying to help.

I was glassing the wheel well, a wooden floor would have been complicated with the shape on the trunk, it was really, just easier to glass it. Besides, I really don't need the added weight of the wooden floor versus FG.

i guess. thats just a ton of fiberglass and money. but you seem to have it all figured out.

 

[Rawr-DQ 10+ year member]

orginally, I was going to stretch the fleece over a circle baffle, and FG the outside, and bought the needed Fg to do that, but changed my mind after I got the stuff, and jsut going to do a false floor. FG supplies, and some tools was about 350, but it'll be enough to do a lot more projects that I was going to do in the future...I still have doors I wanna glass, and possibly the back dash, and the front, middle dash.

So I bought plenty of crap..Most of the cost was on tools I needed to just do boxes...but I can always use some tools so it's alright.

Now that's a big project. Looking good so far.

Only thing I would have changed is your use of GreatStuff.

I hate that stuff, there are much better products that could have been used instead.
