mrteacha Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 after reading up on it i decided to give it a try. i ended up getting the jelly resin not the liquid. I mixed it and applied it to the stretched t-shirt by brush. Once dry, I knocked it down with some 60 grit. reapplied a thinner coat of filler, knocked that down with 120 grit. I primed it just to make it easier to see imperfections. I used glaze filler then knocked it down 320 grit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raytard Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 lookin good its usually advised to actually use fiberglass in fiberglass pods though, not just cotton and resin, a t-shirt soaked in resin is just asking to be cracked by midbass or a wandering shoe, a layer or two of glass would make it strong enough to stand on.

What you using to cover those ugly ass holes and whats your plan for finishing. i figured the jelly was the best option since it was the first time. I ended up using one qt. of it for both kick panels each kick got one layer on the outside of the stretched shirt and one layer on the inside. i was suprised that I still had some left over. I am throwing in a set of diamond audio 6.5's. Right now they are running off deck power and are in the doors. once in the kicks they will be run off a rockfors 300.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soloact Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Looks good man.But ditch that jelly..you want resin thats thin,and flows like water(not bondo brand either).And as mentioned above,you really need to get some csm on there.Resin by itself provides no strength.
