Building my first box

Alright so today is the fiberglassing day... I got 2 rolls of extra wide painters tape... but my question is tinfoil, wax, WD40, or something else? What of that should I use so the fiberglass doesnt attach to whatever I lay down. I know jelly uses wax and I see alot with alluminum foil but WD40 seems like it would be the easiest if it actually works.

I'd trust wax+ alum and tape the most, dunno about wd40

All 3?

you could tape it up, maybe use some foil, and wax the tape...it all depends on the situation, just make sure you take enough measures so that it doesnt stick to the door or w/e

bmx and bass did yall plan out your avas here lol... anyways do you mean pam? Does pam work cuz Im liking the idea of a spray... but allumnium foil is probablly fairly easy as well..

It isnt that easy, but it's a physical barrier between the resin and the door and the resin will not be able to soak into/though it.

Do I need to do more than one layer of allumnium foil I just put one down right now.

by my building experiance, less than 1 layer is fine. so 1 layer should be great //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Should I still be able to see the fibers or not see them at all. And if its kind of clunky... clunked together. Only on the corners though. Im only puttin stuff on the corners cuz I want to make sure its truly air tight. But is that ok?

So I just finished putting 6 layers of fiberglass on each side compartment bottom and 5 on the middle...

Then I realized I had 2 tubes of liquid hardner that came with my resin. Was I supposed to mix that in with the resin? If so I may shoot myself.

EDIT: Ok so I was supposed to... but is there anyway I can fix this or am I doomed?
