[QUOTE="F150Matt, post: 127295, member: 543857"] when I had my solo baric L7's I used fiberglass on the front of the box. I bought the stuff from autozone and used it. First the clothe stuff to get the shape I wanted, painted it with the resin, let it get hard. Then I went back and put 3 layers of Mat on it. This was extremely strong and did not flex. Just make sure you get a fiberglass roller or something to get the air bubbles out. I found a local distributor that sells fiberglass, the resin is 18$ a gallon(7$ cheaper than autozone i believe) and the mat for 3.99$ per square yard. Not sure what weight though. Either way, fiberglass is used to repair vehicles and it almost like metal when it is hardened, every shop I talked to in my area said 3-6 layers is generally plenty. Everyone said to get it over a 1/4'' thick preferably 1/2'' thick and you'll be fine.
