it was definitally a reaction. I got a better look at it today and there are some parts were it's caved in alot. But, like I said earlier, I'll just get another gallon of bondo and hope for the best.

I'll finish it sometime within the next week (hopefully). If it comes out ugly, then oh well. I'm not going to try this again, it's to tedious and problematic.

If i could find some really stretchy vynal...

here are some pics of were it looks like the resin ate away at the foam, or maybe just melted it or something. I still don't know but it's ****ed up and I might to another layer becuase there are a few small holes now.

i'd use kitty hair (fiberglass reinforced bondo) for those holes. and you could vinyl that easily. my fiberglassed 7 inch monitor mount (http://www.caraudio.com/vb/showthread.php?t=88105) was more curvy than that, and it turned out alright. you just got to use a blow dryer to get real soft and stretchy.
