Quick Fiber Glass Question


paco

Recommended Posts

Ok so I Have a good Idea what box I'm going to make for 2 kicker L7's but My question is when I get ready to put the resin on top of the box, what kind of material should I use to cover the skeleton? Oh and where can I buy this material. I've seen some forum users here use a blue looking suede looking material, whats the name of this material? and where did you buy it from? I live in Chicago so any advice on where I could buy it would be appreciated.

thanx.

You can use almost any type of material alot use fleece aka sweatshirt material. You can get it at walmart or any local fabric store.

i usually go for ponte, a spandex like material. it wets out really nicely, and stays pretty smooth to put layers over. just my $0.02, fleece will work just fine, just personal preference really.

They are right with the ponte, try and go with that if you can. There's a thread about ponte vs. fleece and ponte took the win by far with curves.

Not being new at something doesn't mean anything. Just because a prostitute isn't new at what she does, doesn't change the fact that she still 'sucks'

fleece is alright as long as you dont have any nuts curves, once you start doing something complex, go for the better material
