youll need enough fiberglass and resin to cover the enclosure enough times to make a difference. use either the mat or the cloth type fiberglass. and the generic resin should be fine. experiment using the resin and applying the fiberglass on a scrap piece of mdf so you can get a feel of how to do it. and then work on your enclosure.

how did he get the top mdf assembly attached to the back wall of the box which was only fiberglass? since he cant put screws into it, how did he hold the top on?

fiber glass will mold to MDF and a few other woods, mdf will "absorb" resin so to speak thus bonding them together in a way!

Masking tape works well if you use about 3 layers, going in different directions with each layer.
