Fiberglass Btl Box

[hotshot27]

What kind of heater? I used a small propane heater that was 11,000 BTU's and put it inside my box once I had a basic shell, The resin would get rock hard in less than an hour. Kinda like what steve did with the "oven" and the hoopty doors.

just a small space heater i use in my barracks room. military accomidations dont always provide the best heat or a/c. in fact i dont even have a/c oh well, adapt and overcome right?

What's the rope trick for?

[flashlight_65]

it creates ridges in the form. fiberglass utilizes it stregnth with the ridges. more curves the stronger the piece. it was flimsy before the rope, once i glassed over it it became a lot more rigid. they acted like little support beams. the glass over the rope not the rope itself.

so im in my room and i hear a thud. i walk out to check on the box and i see a mutha fucka run down the stairs. i look at my box and its on the ground! so i rush to fix the front cause the ring sunk in and i tear through the box to fix the ring and the braces holding the ring. thank god the resin hadnt set yet and was still wet. i wish i could have seen who did it so i can stomp the dog shit outta them. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif but at least i fixed it in time
