Fixing an oops'd up box


Recommended Posts

Build a new one and then get a table saw lol

That's why they don't deliver.

Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait.

You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start :D

I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

silicon tends to not stick where mdf dust is present.. plus it likes to let go after awile anyways from the air movement... i would use the white caulk if your going to go that route... but resin will work better than anything... if the gap is large enough to slide a small piece of fiberglass matte in... i would do so...

also... silicon smells like shit... resin smells good!

I found this out the hard way, also silicon wont dry if you paint over it before it cures. You live, you learn.

Liquid Nails and fiberglass is the way I'd go, I say this because it was I plan to do on my next build.

EDIT:

x2 on that silicon moving crap. I used silicon to seal up the inside of my second box, let it cure and the pressure stil blew out the seal from around the baffle.

Note to self, don't use silicon to seal things with crazy air pressure.
