you would have to have some sort of sketch or drawing to even make a guesstimation at quantity or materials needed.

bumping every 15 mins is not necessary.

You can buy that stuff at a ton of local stores, no need to order online. What i would suggest is to just buy a gallon of resin and a few of the bags of fg at lowes, autozone, advance autoparts, walmart, you get the idea. That way you dont buy much more then you need and you can always go back for more.

Edit- I read it wrong the first time but like i said get a gallon of resin, probably 3 bags of fiberglass to start with, youll need some fleece or something of the sort to get your wrap done as well.

buying local is fine but don't get the bondo brand resin or any other brand that contains wax.

you will need 2-3 gallons min m8 uless you use mdf on all strait places

you want the box to be 1/4in think absolute min and up to about 5/8

anyone have a good guestimate price wise ? And thanks for the tip. Will like a shirt work for wrapping or is it special stuff

 

[Varinabassing 10+ year member]

i was thinking like 6 layers think that will be thick enough

 

[nineball 10+ year member]

the number of layers depends on the material used. get some 1.5oz mat and layer it up until you can stand on it and it doesn't flex. use mdf for all flat surfaces.

Ok thank you i will go and check prices nd what not at advance or something

 

[Varinabassing 10+ year member]
