JustinWillmon Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Quick question and probably a dumb one. When fiberglassing kicks, once I get them wrapped with fleece. Do I need to cut out the fleece where the speaker goes, or should I just fiberglass the whole thing, them cut it out once it dries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacomaguy1 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 I always do it once it dries Team Flex Issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicenterDesigns Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Fleece? And I cut it out before I resin the material and add the mat. Why make more work in the end?

JustinWillmon Posted July 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 yeah was gonna stretch the fabric and add resin then build it up with mat once the first layer dries, is that not right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ham4864 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 use something lighter then fleece than build up with layers of mat . Fleece soaks up a lot of resin. Use a pair of old stocking. If you use fleece on two kicks you may use two gallons of resin. Expensive and a waste.

CarAudioFab Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Depends on the rest of your design, if you have flush trim rings you can do it after the resin by using a flush trim bit. If they are simple rings you will want to rabbet the edge of the ring to create a nice surface to staple to and trim the material.

JustinWillmon Posted July 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Yeah I made flush trim rings for them so I guess I can use a flush trim bit. So what kind of material do I need to buy to cover them with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
79 cutty Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Yeah I made flush trim rings for them so I guess I can use a flush trim bit. So what kind of material do I need to buy to cover them with? Grill cloth or ponte is what I have had the best results with. Just keep in mind the material isn't where you get your strength from, you get that from the chop mat. So depending on how thin of a material you go with you will have to add that accordingly. Firm believer in letting my cars do my talking! You can't rush quality, it doesn't happen overnight. Quality takes time and dedication, but the end results more than pay for it.

Grill cloth since it is a smaller part. -Mark Host of "CarAudioFabrication" - YouTube Car Audio Tutorial Channel Check out my forum section here on SMD for my builds and tutorial videos!
