lolitskasey Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Ok so i was just wondering if you could just use resin to fill the cracks in a box. Cause i cant seem to find any fiberglass around my town. So i have a bottle of resin and i am going to do my 45 angles with the resin and wanted to know if i had to have fiberglass to make it strong enough.

pear_b Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 I glued my 45"s in, some silicone sealed it up good then I went over the entire box with resin and sealed it up. I think your talking about the cracks from the 45's? Some people flush it pretty good, if you dont like I do, just use some bodyfiller or something I would think.

zfrerichs Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 home depot has mat or fiberglass cloth but if all your doing is 45s make sure you put resin on your cracks or gap first you dont want the resin leaking out of the box Roseville, CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
