Currently got the intersections wrapped in cloth.

I guess I'll find out when I get it resined and install the subs

A few changes of the plan.
1. I'm not even messing with that last threaded pipe

2. Adam is going to resin the inside of my box for me

3. I'm getting Tantric drop ins for my Z's. Murphy promised I will get them by Monday the 21st.

the 21st of november i'm guessing since its murphy.

My port looks like a murder scene! I added red dye to the resin, which I think looks really cool

Also covered the rest of the floor and the pipe intersections with resin. There's now a red penis shaped spill inside my box....

He's hopefully making it right. Couldn't get a refund, so we're going a different route. I could text you details, but I'm purposely keeping this off the forums.

Nothing

Yeah, it's not fantastic. The one part I don't like is where I had to staple the shirt in

The inside is more than 50% covered with resin, and I'm happy with it. There are a few little places I'll add some caulk when the resin is cured

What's the cloth wrapped around the 2 x 4 and rod?

Just cloth coated in resin, to secure the braces together

Was that a good or bad idea? I thought it would help, not hurt

I just didn't know. It's not good or bad. I usually use dowel rods and screw them in from the outside and then resin them into place as well. They are light and cheap. And you can get them up to 2" at lowes

Those would have been a lot better idea for me.

I like the look of the threaded metal rods, but you won't be able to see the inside of the box anyways //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
