reefguy89 Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Posted August 21, 2012 so today i got all the fleece done and started pouring resin. I only got one side done with the resin that i had.
reefguy89 Posted August 25, 2012 Author Report Posted August 25, 2012 well i got some more resin today a gallon. So i got the other side covered in resin and started to glass the first side. Glassing went pretty smooth not to hard to do. i found out i need to use a little less hardner and also work with smaller batches of resin. when i first started with the fiberglass i mixed 16oz of resin and by the time i got to the last 40oz it started gelling up on me. so from there on out i made it in 8oz batches. The only issue i had with the glass was i kept getting some airbubbles and cant figure out how to stop getting them. Should i sand down the airrbubbles before i start the next layer? Also i am using fiberglass mat but i also have a fiberglass cloth which is smoother than the mat. Can i use the cloth also or just the mat? air bubbles
reefguy89 Posted September 3, 2012 Author Report Posted September 3, 2012 thanks guys i did a little test fitting today. Lets just say it fits like a glove one size to small.lol I still have to modifiy the seatbelt/trim pieces to make it fit. Also build the component speaker pods for the top corner of the cab.
CleanSierra Posted September 4, 2012 Report Posted September 4, 2012 Your subs are gonna be right against the back seat like that? They will need a little room for excursion. It's looking good so far. The reason that you're getting the bubbles is for two possible reasons:you're mixing the resin too hot with the hardener, or you're not rolling the mat on. I use a metal roller that sort of drags and rolls at the same time. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
reefguy89 Posted September 4, 2012 Author Report Posted September 4, 2012 no the seat wont be that far back when its finished that was just to show that they still go all the way back there will be at least a couple of inches between the seat and the sub at all times. no i am not using a roller yet which is why i havent done anymore fiberglassing since then. i have to order one since i cant find them locally. any suggestions on what type of roller?

CleanSierra Posted September 4, 2012 Report Posted September 4, 2012 I'll take a picture of mine. They have the rollers on the US composites website. I get my fiberglass stuff locally by a shop that sells materials for like big statue molds and stuff. Heres a pic of my roller: Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
