PUNKYOU007 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 well i am in the middle of doing some a pillar pods, yaaa. anyway first i hot glued the "frame" to the a pillar then layed some glass, well i read that the resin doesnt like to sick to plastic so i gave it a little flex test and of course it pulled away in some spots so i pulled it all off. i also read that you should put down a base layer of fleece or like some people used an old white tee (which i have plenty of becuase you cant wear a damn white tee for just one day with out getting kool aid or lunch or dirt from working on sombodies car on it) so i used an old white tee on the pillars first. i sprayed adhesive on the cloth and the pillar and let it tack up then stuck em together. i waited about 15 mins then i mixed up some resin, got to spreading the resin and did it start looking nice. well after it dried for about an hour i went to check on it and when i picked up one of the pillars it was a little stuck so i poped it off and in doing that the tee shirt kinda pulled away from the pillar....WTF. now the whole thing didnt come off and i didnt play with it but what should i do to make that stick back to the plastic? any tips here would be great. i read as many " A-pillar" post as i can handle. seems nobody has had this problem. BTW i will get pics up when its all done. Doethepaperboy "Bars of Pain" Doethepaperboy "Hero Remix" C. Arson d(-__-)b beer sucks...but i can bring some jose cuervo. Only problem is that it makes me horny and gives me the rams. So unless yall wanna fight and then have some great make up sex i will leave it home.

Duvanator Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Staple the fabric / old tees to the plastic before you resin it, or if the plastic is too brittle then drill a bunch of wholes to perforate it, then use crazy glue to hold the fabric on. head unit - Panasonic MXE CQ-C7403U amp - Cerwin-Vega EXL 1200D subs - (x2) Cerwin Vega V-MAX 15.4 box - 5.8 ^3 at 32hz spkrs- Phoenix Gold Rsd Comps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duvanator Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 a door pod i did, used crazy glue to hold the fabric down since the plastic was to brittle for staples. the purpose of the holes is so when you soak the fabric in resin it seeps through the holes. then once it dries it is almost like a resin rivet lol head unit - Panasonic MXE CQ-C7403U amp - Cerwin-Vega EXL 1200D subs - (x2) Cerwin Vega V-MAX 15.4 box - 5.8 ^3 at 32hz spkrs- Phoenix Gold Rsd Comps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnate777 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 also when the fiberglass dries on the outside take a coat and lay some glass in the inside of the pod.....but the best way to make it stick is sand the plastic and rough it up a bit and then on the ends and a few spots in the midlle drill some 1/8 holes Rockford Fosgate Sundown Audio DC Power Inc XS Autometer Pioneer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
