Me (and my Dad's) enclosure build (first ever)

[IDSkoT 5,000+ posts]

Well... My dad's a fiberglass boat builder so we had the materials.You're looking at about 5 gallons of resin - $100-120.

Material - around 7 yards of mat, and 7 yards of roven. (not sure the price, but it's not too bad around here, seeing as we live RIGHT on the coast and fiberglass shops are a dime a dozen.)

Rollers - $20ish

14 yards of glass in my box was WAY overkill... You could get away with much less and cut costs.

Oh, nice.

I live on the coast, and know a few fiberglass-ers. One told me he would get me his price on materials, if I was going to get into it. I don't remember that price now, but I remember looking into it at the time and saying it was a good deal.

However, I never really got into how much material is needed for a job of X caliber, etc.

It takes work, man. I just started fooling around with it last year. Doing a few things to my boat... (had to rebuild the transom, and converted a front bench seat into a insulated fiberglass cooler/seat) Itchy itchy itchy shit man. All the grinding i did in shorts and a t-shirt (bad idea)

Well i just wasn't feeling the blue, and i didn't like just having my amps bolted to the trunk so i wanted to try something different.

"my dad and i enclosure build"?
I think not.

I didn't say "me and my dad's." i said "me (and my dad's)" the only punctuation error i made was putting "me" instead of "my" so it should be my (and my dad's) enclosure build.

pwned
