Hello,
I'm trying to make a removeable fiber glass mold that would cover my speaker box so that i can paint it and make it look a bit sharper than just having a regular gray carpet covered box. (it would mimic the C5 waterfall cover behind the seats)
I have fairly limited funds so economy is a consideration. But from the basic knowledge I have learned so far, I believe this can be a fairly simple project.
I guess all I need is a roll of fiber and some resin. But what do you recomend?
Then I think the next step would be to cover the box with plastic "(so that it dosn't stick to the box), mix the resin and just lay out strips until the entire box is covered. Then once it hardens slide it off, rip out the plastic that is stuck to the inside of the mold, and then do some major sanding.
How long does the mold normally take to dry before I can handle it?
What is this roller thing i hear about and what kind should i buy?
Any tips on easy ways to soak and apply the resin and fiberglass?
Can I pick up most of my supplies at a local auto store and how much would i need for approx. a 3' by 4' total surface area?
Any information and advice you could provide to get me started with my project would be greatly appreciated.
