[QUOTE="dannyz122001, post: 4802902, member: 583241"] as much as it would ****, i would redo it. if i were doing a well mold, i would do the following. after degreasing the entire wheel well, i would lay multiple layers of good masking tape. make sure to overlap the pieces and then criss-cross the next layer of tape perpendicular to the first layer, to reduce the chance of resin seeping through. volume depending, i would cut a piece of MDF to fit the bottom (as previously mentioned). this will help add strength and rigidity to the enclosure, as MDF is stronger over flat areas compared to FG on flat areas. next, i would spray a light mist of spray adhesive one section of the well. allow it it tack and then proceed to lay out one layer of chop mat onto the glue. this will allow you to determine the positioning of the mat before its permenant. after you are satisfied with the locations of the mat, mix your resin and apply using the previously mention stippling (sp?) method, making sure to remove all air bubbles. moving section to section, continue until all desired areas have one layer of FG. i would recommend doing no less than 4 layers of mat. depending on woofer location, you may even want to use some small dowels as extra support to reduce warping. once all is cured and dried, keep the enclosure in the well for about a day, again to reduce the chance of warping. once cured and removed, you can dremel down any air bubbles, knocking down any high points and further securing the MDF to the bottom (more resin and FG between the joints) again, all FG'ing is trial and error. This method has worked for me, but to each his own. GL with it all, its pretty fun once you get the hang of it, but make sure to get all of the air bubbles out! GL!! [/QUOTE]
