dcaudio_b2 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Im currently making a center console with a wooden frame and some fiberglass work on it. Im bridging gaps as wide as 3-4 in. How many layers of fiberglass mat and resin should i apply to these areas to insure good strength and make sure it will hold its shape and stay rigid??? Thanks guys!!

Carbon Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Atleast 4. Do you have the option to cut out the gap shape in MDF first and nailgun it in place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreehundredC Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 add a few (3 layers) let it dry knock on it if it needs more add more if not body fill it... P.S. this is not a car detailing trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 I assume his sub box is finished. Probably just center console Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcaudio_b2 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 to everybody its just a console with cupholders lol my sub box is 6 cubes so itd have to be a helluva console haha. but every one agrees atleast 3 layers?? and yeah i had mdf in a few spots to staple to thankfully. and im using the really thin woven fiber mat. not the thick insulation style fiber. but i started of with a layer cotton material as my first layer and so far ive done 1 solid layer and letting it dry tonight. after ive sanded it pretty smooth my buddy is layin body filler on it too. hows that sound?
