Much better than the first. ive been working on it for about 6 hours now, adding resin, fiberglass, trimming glass up to fit on the next layer and all. I have about 4 layers on so far, alternating between fiberglass weave and chop mat. Is there any real difference between the weave and chop as far as integrity? If you read up on my thread, you would have knowen the trouble i was having with the resin yesterday ... or maybe that was my thread on fiberglasforum.com... anyways, i set it on my roof this morning to cure, and the only warping was on the top of the enclosure because the weight was right there.. the area was only about .5"x6" so it wasnt too hard to fix.... trimmed it off and layed some tape on the back of the enclosure so that i could lay new glass there and she fits like a glove now. I think another layer or two and she'll be ready for rings.Now i have a few questions about the rings. Ive heard that since the resin heats up its not good to hot glue the dowels and rings as the heat might make them release and fukc up my box. Could i hot glue the dowels and rings together where i want them, and then use resin and glass around the bases to attatch them more firmy? Also, whats a good way to fasten my fleecing material to the box when i go to stretch it over the rings? One last thing, there are some smaller bubbles in the box, less than the size of...well ranging from the size of a pin head to about half the diameter of a dime... and most of em are between the first and second layer of glass... is that gonna be really bad? or will the other 3 layers on top of it make up for it?</blockquote>
