SubSonic Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 ok so iv been reading about fiber glass for a while now, and im still a little confuzed on the types they are, now i see, you make a box, mount, woffer mount, then u wrap it tightly in fleece, then put resin and primer over it, then thats is, sand and paint,now this isnt fiberglass, what is this called? then when u do that exact same thing, but u use like spandex, then resin, then wet fiberglass and spread it all over, whats the difference? fiberglass just alot stronger ? can hold more?? one looks better then the other??? alsoo, for mixing resin, do they sell premixed? or do u have to mix it with a hardner and ex... please help me with this, iv read and searches, but have not found direct answer to some of my questions, thanks alot!!! thanks for your time..

tehbert0 Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 make it, wrap it, put a layer of resin on and let it dry. that will make a harder mold. then use a few layers of fiberglass mat or cloth. depending on the application you may need up to 7 or 8 layers. after a few layers you can bondo and sand and all that good stuff http://motorcitydesignsaudio.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubSonic Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Iv Seen Fiberglass cloth, that is a solid sheet of fiber, that u cut and put of the resin, then put more resin over that, Iv also seen, where the fiberglass is not a sheet, its like a wet mixture in a bucket that u make, then spread over with a paint brush,... idk, maybe its the resin and fiberglass mixed together??

SubSonic Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Thats what im guessing it is, iv seen it used in a build, prolly alot easier to work with then dry cloth since its all combined already, and u just spread it... does anyone know if this is what it is? and the mixture to use?

Mikesmith0890 Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 The second method your talking about is used to help smooth the surface. You still have to use the fleece and resin.
