Default Did a little fiberglass project today.

I was bored on sat. so a bought some fiberglass products and came home from church with plans of building a stealth box. its no the prettiest thing in the world buy with a little sanding and some more layers i dont think it will look that bad. i had some trouble putting some glass on the top part of the box so i had to take it out of my car so i could glass the top of the box. if someone could tell me how to post pics with nikon pro pic software then ill put some up for yalls laughing pleasure.

You need to upload the pictures to a website then post the link.

Or click on the "manage attachments" button and upload it there.

yeah thats why i took it out of my car to finish it up. because all the pieces i was putting on the top were just falling down and the resin was dripping to the bottom as u see. but it looks different in person than it does in those pics. they turned out really dark. but with all the tape of it looks ok. i still have a layer or two of glass to put on. then im gonna sand down the inside just to make it look clean.

If someone wants to save themselves some trouble. I made one and it turned out quite nice. If interested PM me. I have built a well box since and no longer need it. It is .71cuft and has a hole for 12" sub.
