andym85 Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 thanks guys!! hopefully it will come out like i imagined it. i saw a guy use dowel rods and fiberglass in his folded horn box, to get the horn part of it...thats where i got the idea from...really cant think of any other way of doing it besides glassing over the struts inside and make a form from that...didnt feel like doing that though.. i likes me some audio stuff...

My seat doesn't fold down. and there already is a nice big whole in the back prt. and it pretty much sealed up, except for teh top part and some of the sides. I'll take a picture when i get back home and post it on my thread. 1995 Geo Prism .

andym85 Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 no accelorator on the glue...but it didnt need any at all...that shit dried in about 5-10seconds...i damn near destroyed the dowel rod structure a few times because i glued my fingers to it and couldnt get them off...lol i likes me some audio stuff...

groundpounder2k2 Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 here I was confused.... here i was skepticle(sp) but that looks great...excellent job so far.The only thing Id say to do differently is.When you got your dowells set up maybe go over them with cardboard ,cut to shape. and layers of masking tape.This will give you a nice smooth foundation to lay the glass down on....But looking great so far..

Pokey Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Have you tried CA glue??? Super glue can break off kinda easy as you almost found out....CA glue won't break off...the wood will break before the glue lets go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym85 Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 good tip next time i do anymore glassing, which may be in a few months on a friends truck...hopefully with some serious body putty and sanding, they will come out smoth enough to hide any imperfections with carpet... i likes me some audio stuff...

andym85 Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 the loctite superglue i was using was holding really good...nothing really came loose...the only time it did is when i tried to glue over a spot that already had glue on it...apparently that glue doesnt like to stick to itself. but none of it ever broke even though i was pulling away trying to get my fingers loose...lol. i was really impressed with it...i'll see if i can find some CA glue at a craftstore though for some comparison one day... i likes me some audio stuff...
