just got done with the reiforcing on the insidembut not sure on how many layers i should do.i have put down about 2 yards so far,is that enough,or is more gonna sound better.also when i woke up this morning my resin was dry,but i could move the fleece alittle.is that normal until reinforcing is done and body filler is applied?

I usually run about 5 layers 1/4"-1/2" thick, then duraglass, then bondo, then glaze! After that the front baffle is about 3/4" thick and ready for paint!!

ok so here are a few pics,i glassed up the inside this morning with about 3 packs of fiberglass matte from wally world(about 24sqft or 2.66 yds).i have to say that if i do this again(and i probably will,i have 3 friends that want them built already)i will build so the back is removable for easier glassing.was a pain in the arse but i got er done .i went thru about a half gallon of marine epoxy i had left over from my old malibu rotten floor job .next i started with the body filler,tommorow i will sand i do a second pass of filler.still up in the air if i am going to paint or just carpet it.was doing this on a budget and i know paint will cost more,i have everything but no black layin around so i would have to buy some,as well as some high build primer.not to mention all the prep work for the paint,so carpet might be what comes next,lol,and i am a flooring contractor so this would be rather easy .well see tommorow i guess how i feel
