Fiberglasssing trunk
 

How much fiberglass is good to get for a whole project in the trunk. Its going to cover most of the trunk with fiberglass, 2 subs on each side, amp in the center in a fiberglass wall that hides my tank and compressors. Anyone know how much fiberglass and materials I should get.

damn sounds liek atleata few gallons of resin after your done. io would say somewhere around 2 just for the skeleton if it is almost your whole trunk. and probably 3/4 packet of the badding.

ok so Im thinking, 3 gallons of resin, 2 gallons hardener? Im really brand new to this is there a site I could look at just to get a good background on fiberglass.

3 gallos of resin and 2 gallons of hardner? You do know that for a cup of resin you'll be using about 8 drops right or whatever the directions on the hardner are but it's not much?

yeah if you use a 3:2 ratio resin to hardner all you will have is a very hot clump of hard stuff. the hardner comes with the resin usually. I use bonda boat fiberglass resin. you can get it at home depot. It is a gallon of resin and 2 tubes of hardner. If you do it when it is hot outside you only need a few drops per cup.

oh yeah remember to get alot of tape and 3m spray glue.

a gallon of resin should run you about $35 with a tube of harder running $4 or less. If you've never worked with fiberglass do yourself a favor and practice by building like a mini box or something small so you'll get some practice on it b/c it'll be a b*tch to undo if you mess up in your trunk.

1sikEM2, i'm getting my trunk all done with 1 S12L7 and 2 Kicker amps and painted Rallye Red for around $750 - $800, and its not just some basic shape either, it will be a pretty elaborate design. $2000 for our trunk would mean some crazy ass design.

Just as people have said, practice practice practice, make sure you lay down Aluminum foil too in the trunk, i mean cover it and leave no holes cause if that fiberglass touches your carpet or anything have fun. Wear eye protection and a mask or that fiberglass will tear you up.

get some disposable gloves, cups and wooden stirers too.

When you get it at home depot will it have all the matting(sp?) you need?

no the matting you have to buy seprate. i think its like $3/$4 a pack.

Finished the template. (Didn't chose material for design....just for the elasticity)
