^^^ im not looking for a ton in bulk, but a fair amount. doing two tweeter pods plus I'm going to practice some before trying the pods.
how many oz chopped strand do i need? it only a tweeter pod so it doesn't have to be super strong.. just the basic 3/4 oz?Fiberglass , Epoxy , Composites, Carbon Fiber - U.S. Composites, Inc. is a highly regarded source of fiberglassing materials. If you're just doing tweeter pods and "practicing" I would say you could just use some cheap bondo brand though.
we have good resin and some cheap bondo at fleet farm where i work so id get that. but the mat we have doesn't look any better than stuff ud find at walmart... :/ also how do you control how shiny the final finish is? i want it to look clean but i want it to be a kind of smokey black color.

^^^ does that have more to do with the paint or the way you finish it?
B-440 is no more //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gifI like US Composites. Good products, good prices, and good customer support.
i've used B-440 and B-404 resins.
I don't use the Bondo resin anymore -too waxy and doesn't soak in well. sometimes you want wax, sometimes you don't. you choose the type of resin for the job at hand.
don't forget to pick up some fiberglass rollers and soak them in alcohol between uses.
always remember to tear the fiberglass mat, never cut the mat. i prefer working with 3/4oz and building layers.
