edog Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 just my opinion but the more resin the fleece soaks up makes it stronger so you reinforce less which makes it easier to work with and you won't cut thru easily when sanding. 2001 Southern Comfort Suburban sittin on 26"s Eclipse 6620 double din head unit (2004 dash mod) 4-AQ 3500D amps @1 ohm 8-Cadence 6.5 midbass 4- in each door.

EpicenterDesigns Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 just my opinion but the more resin the fleece soaks up makes it stronger so you reinforce less which makes it easier to work with and you won't cut thru easily when sanding. You couldn't be more wrong with that assesment. Just to save some time, I will quote myself from another thread......... The matting is what gives it strength to begin with.When you use a material, like fleece (Ponte' prefered), to get the initial shape of a pod and then resin it, it cures hard but is brittle. Just like resin alone is brittle, so is a peice of resined fleece, sheet, etc. Fiberglass matting is just that, fiberglass. That is where the strength comes from. Mat also takes alot less resin to wet out than other materials. So by using the mat, your not only getting the proper strength in your project, you saving money and using less product that you will have for the next project you take on. Here is a thread of 2 materials tested side by side for strength and durability and the amount of resin needed to get a shape. So with no matting, this is how your whole project would be. This was just done as a test for initial shapes till the mat was applied.

bobonit Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 I was at Joanns buying some felt and there was a dude working the register. Piercings, tats, long hair, definitely seemed out of place working there. He noticed that I had a kick panel with me so I could match the color with the felt. When he rung me up, he kinda looked around then rung me up for about 20% what he shoulda charged me. I was like SWEET !! Guess he knew what the felt was for. 97 Maxima SE Bunch of shit going in, check out the build Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
