sohczc Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Hey guys which resin do I want to use to do a custom fiberglass enclosure first one so I don't know which to use Epoxy Resins or Polyester Resins. And which weight of fiberglass mat do I want to use for my buildup. Please reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyBoy Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 the matt all depends on what youre tryin to accomplish. the resin-polyester. its cheaper than the epoxy. thats all you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sohczc Posted December 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 I want to use the mat to build the enclosure thicker for more strength because the fleece is not thick enough to make the enclosure strong so what weight do I want to use.
