Fiberglassing MDF

[GCAdidas13 10+ year member]

make sure you glass EACH SIDE of the thing.

what? like... each side of the wood?

idk if i can, in my setup

basically what it amounts to, is that i want to try to do this without having to bother with screwing any wood together except for the baffle.

the bottom will be mostly fiberglass, and the sides will be held together with fiberglass.

what do you think?

sounds good to me, just make sure you get some bracing in there.

resin is used in SPL boxes made out of MDF.
nuff said, you shouldnt run into any issues.

Tiss true my son, But the resin is used for sealing, or making as air tight as possible in spl enclosures. It does little if anything to add strength. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i know, but it did answer the question of

How strong is a bond between fiberglass and MDF?
It seems as if it would be relatively easy to break the fiberglass off of the MDF, because you would only need to remove the top few layers of MDF to get the fiberglass off.

Right?

which is the question i was refering to. no question of adding strength or any of that //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif , just a testament of the stresses that the bond can endure.
