Yes... still another 2ea 45 corner pieces to cut and add too.
it's 13ft3 externally
Better buy a buncha paint huh? I plan to do 4 at once eventually the 3.8ft3, 5.75ft3, 9ft3 and this one... I'll never be able to sell those extras otherwise
You have just under 35sqft of surface area, a quart of primer and a quart of top coat is all you need. If you use a dark topcoat get the primer tinted with some black pigment, it will help the topcoat cover better. It's important to use a shellac based primer because those will seal a porous surface the best.
Next time I paint a box I am avoiding cans. Was a good learning moment though, but I am not a master at rattle cans. I used both on my last box (can and brush) but I think I need to be more selective on the type of primer/sealer and paint I use...
I am totally trying this stuff at some point.
What kind of gasket material was that you used for in between the top sheet?Done... serious pita building this thing
146 lb with driver... I'm reserving a hospital room now for when I throw out my back... :wow:
I made the top removable so I can access the sub, possibly add windows on top, and add interior paint later... maybe some lighting inside too?
But for now I'm focused on hearing the thing. I'll finish out and paint it later
Cheap 3/8" x 3/16" foam weatherstripping, with some silicone underneath to adhere to, worked pretty good imo,... I had to really bar clamp it down (3 at once) to close the gap as much as possible, once the edges were ****** down along an edge, I ran the screws in and repeated till it was tight all the way around... then went around the whole thing again and got it even tighter.
