HunterJohnson Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Posted September 30, 2012 the dense stuff is gonna be harder to wet out too, but if you have the time and a nice amount of resin, why not. depending on how thick/thin the resin is my resin is like water and could wet it out instantly yeah my resin will be absorb the mat quickly Scion tC SQ BuildiPad mini, lots of fabrication, daily drivenFord Explorer C Pillar Wall Build Just a cheap car to destroy with bass
Captain Stupid Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 I'll also be using extremely strong epoxy resin. stuff is 500 bucks a gallon, dont ask lol For carbon fiber, I always use the expensive epoxy resin. For fiberglass mat, I always use the cheapest polyester resin I can get my hands on. There just simply isn't any advantage to not using the cheap stuff other than so e temporary curing odor. Spend <$100/gallon on resin, and save the good stuff for another project....IMHO. 2006 Cadillac Escalade 2/3 drop on 28" wheels Two RE SX 18" subs RF T2500-1bdCP amp, 3531watts on birthsheet Custom carbon fiber sub box EVERYTHING else is stock, for now 149.4 @ 37hz, Termlab, dash, open window on two AQ3 18s all stock electrical, wired to .25 ohm on a RF T2500 148.8 @ 36hz, Termlab, dash, open window on one AQ3 18 all stock electrical, wired to .5 ohm on a RF T2500 147.8 @ 38hz, Termlab, legal, sealed on two RE SX 18s 146.4 @ 36hz, Termlab, legal, sealed on one RE SX 18 Link to my hack-built, stupid, carbon fiber wasting project.... http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/149946-carbon-fiber-box-update-1494db-37hz-on-tl/ http://gifsoup.com/NDM3MTc1MQ

mbdblue Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 an epoxy resin is basically like pouring glue all over the inside of the box. Like tacoma said, if you have that much bracing your just making more work for yourself, but your choice.
