this is my first glass attempt.....SO I hope it turns out alright.......wood just WAS NOT cutting it for my car to get all that $hit to fit

(the oil jug is to keep the fiberglass from warping on that side, it was already starting to deform)

 

[crazy4ozs]

a much better wya to keep it from warping is to put it back in teh car while the glass is curing...i would hate to see u do all that work adn then it not fiting...

 

[bumpn_gt 10+ year member]

I know.....but it is like 10 out right now.....and I REALLY don't want that resin smell in my car anymore.........yuck!

 

[crazy4ozs]

teh smell will fade...the humilaition of having a warped box...pricless...

park the car in ur garage adn throw sum heat lamps on it, faster cure rate=less smell //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

all the time invested going down the drain

looks good tho man, i remember you asking about this along time ago. If you wanna add more to the mold/mdf joint...after it cures pour a bunch of resin combined with alot of chopped up f/g into the crack where they meet.

Looks good my man. If you can handle it you can lay down as many layers as you want at one time. Just switch the bias 90 degrees with each layer. More layers creates more heat, which creates faster curing. I mix my resin hot but can still get 4 to 5 layers done before it starts to set. And a suggestion for further reference, I don't remove anything from the car until it has at least 3 to 4 layers on it depending upon what weight mat I'm using. Sucks to have all your hard work end up warped //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

how many cubes is the box going to be?

 

[bumpn_gt 10+ year member]

I am hoping to get ~11 cubes out of it before displacment

I had about 1/4" of fiberglass/matting before I even thought about taking it out of the trunk...

I know the smell will fade, but seriously, I don't think it will get above 40 here in the next week or so.....

Park my car in the garage??? I have a 2 bd apt with on street parking......no garage in sight........otherwise this would have been done months ago and would have only left the trunk when it was time to wrap fleece!!!!

Going out now to do a test fit.....if it doesn't fit, everything in my sig is up for sale..........seriously

Not worried about the way it looks......JUST how it sounds!! Hell, I assume my car will fall apart shortly after I put all this $hit in anyway
