Ya I just built some for my truck and couple words of advice and I am no pro but they came out really nice. Dont use spray glue to gluedown the fleece because the resin will desolve it and fleece will come loose - LOL huge disaster on my first attempt. I ended up using hot glue and it worked great. Also spend alot of time working the fleece to get it smooth and no wrinkles so later sanding will be very easy and fast. You also need to drill a bunch of holes through the plastic a pillar and the resin will seep through and keep it tightly bonded together. I didnt use any fiberglass just resin and fleece and probably have three coats of resin on them and there really strong. Its a great skill to master and have at your disposal. I have since made door panels for two sets of door speakers. If you have any questions pm me I am always happy to help as someone guided me on my first set too.Thanks a lot man !
please confirm if i'm right :
for my tweeter pods, if i go for fabric only, no fiberglass, i can use 4 or 5 layers of felt or fleece;
I stick the first layer using spray adhesive;
Mix resin with hardener, with the proper ratio of course, and spread it all over until it's nicely soaked;
repeat for every layer;
Once at the final layer, i sand;
Mix some filler with resin and spread it all over;
i sand;
fill the larger spots with the mixed filler and resin;
i sand;
fill the smaller spots with Bondo putty;
i sand;
Aerosol primer;
whatever the paint finish i want ( might use a Truckbed coating for the undercoat, to keep the factory touch of the trims and some matte black for the to coating)
that's it ?

Picture standing in a garage with a group of guys, maybe a cold one in your hand. Not your thing, I know. You know why? Because in that group of guys, you would be the awkward fuck who gets bitch slapped from time to time. We would all basically be showing patience with your stupid ass until it was time for another one of us to slap you again. But you would hang around knowing that none of us likes you and there's another slap coming your way.
Can you please scale back the stupidity and the over-eagerness to respond like a fucking immature prat? Just for one week. Try it.
That was my next question, thanks !Wrap the entire piece, if you only do half and try to feather into the piece it will always crack.

Do yourself a favor and practice a little on something you can throw away after you're done. It'll take a few rounds of practice to get a feel for working with it and learning the pitfalls. Get a couple pillars out of a boneyard or just a random piece of scrap. Fiberglass is VERY permanent so be confident of your abilities before you apply to your car.Thanks man !
i guess it's gonna be my little winter project, patiently waiting for spring to finally get that sound installed !
Sure will !Do yourself a favor and practice a little on something you can throw away after you're done. .
of course ! i'm an industrial construction project manager, Health and safety at work is always priority #1 ! It'd be very stupid if i wouldn't prioritize my own health when part of my job is to make sure workers around me take care of theirs...^^^ respirator is very important tip.
