[QUOTE="req, post: 892409, member: 555713"] basically, yes. kickpanels are really - in all honesty and contrary to popular belief, do not have high pressure inside them, nor are they structure\load bearing boxes. my kicks were comprised of 3 layers of fiberglass for the mould, and one layer of fleece for the 'stretch'. so yes- you WILL need fiberglass, but not nearly as much as you think [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif[/IMG] it took me two or 3 hours combined to actually build and carpet my kicks. (took me physically longer becuase i dicked around) but i did it in one day (with drying) like i said, follow the tutorial, but DO NOT put fiberglass matte\weave on the FRONT of the kickpanel. its a waste of time and materials. the structure should be quite strong (enough to bash with a hammer and not break from my expierences) with the wooden frame coupled with the resin-hard fleece.
