dwright27 Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 ok, so for anyone who HASNT done any type of glass work before, now is your chance to get some pictures going to give you an idea. Also, check out Timmays section, his name on the site is groundpounder2k2 and he is the shiz. ok, so first the explanation: the box wasnt totally square and when we forced the port in, seperated my baffle from the side of the box a little. no big deal, filled it with liquid nails, and screwed it a little more and pulled it back closer. the liquid nails was then allowed to set up and harden a good bit. i didnt show it but, i used a flashlight ( works best at night ) to see where any slack spots where as far as liquid nails went, this told me where i may run into the most problems with air leaks etc. so that where i put the heaviest layers. i glassed the seams where the port meets the side and the front panel where it seperated as well as on the rear of the front panel, before i ran out of mixing supplies. so heres the pictures. ok, before you do ANYTHING youre gonna wanna cut up your chop mat/cloth first into the strips/sections you will need. i think it comes in like 2 foot by 4 foot sheets. i ended up cutting 6 layers for each side wall and port seams first. my cloth cutting skills arent that great so i put the 2 biggest strips on top and bottom to sanndwich the smaller pieces in between them. then i test fitted my strip. And here is my void i filled with liquid nails and the main section i was worried about making strong. i then got my supplies ready, to start mixing up the resin. laid an old shirt down to keep the resin from dripping on my floor. I also went through about 30 pairs of nitrile gloves during the process, so those are a MUST. i then mixed my resin and layed down a "base coat" if you will that gets your first layer wet and sticky. When i mix my resin and hardner i use 20 - 22 drops per ounce of resin. usually i guess at the amount of resin. this is a decently hot mix, as i work a little fast and the hot mix pushes me to wor quicker so it doesnt set up on me. for a beginer i recommend a 14 - 18 per ounce mix. first layer. a laer or 2 in and the front half. this spot got 7 layers on the front maybe a few more, and around 9 layers on the back side. and repeat process for the other side which also got 6 layers on the seam where the port meets the side wall., only difference is this side doesnt have a gap at all. got a few more things going on with this tomorrow, so more pictures then. 2006 F-150 4 DC XL M2 18's Walled Daily Driver XS Power 4 DC 3.5kw Team DC Team S.P.L.
