Wasso Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Okay I'm prepping myself to undertake some fiberglass work/filling of my central dash and lower gear surround to accommodate a custom mod. I've seen a number of videos on Tube of You which 9 times out of ten they flash past the products used or don't really provide a starting point for kits or materials needed. So....... As this is dashboard work I'll be doing a bit of reconstruction, which will entail moving the AC controls down a bit. I'll also be widening the stereo location. What's your tips for materials, suggestions for doing this sort of thing, and where to get this stuff. Thanks in advance Quote
RDON Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 good questions I have been watching loads on you tube lately too but for speaker pods in behind the seats to the rear strut! does look complicated I must say, there is sites that supply fibre the stuff but its normally like boat building material sites that have the gear? 1 Quote
Daryl Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Il drop you a PM later when i get home about 10ish. Got alot of wet laminate experience, so hopefully should be able to help. Quote
Daryl Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 To be honest, your better off going to a local fibreglass workshop and bunging them £30 for some materials, as you will get alot more and probably better quality than the stuff you buy online. Quote

I have noticed all this boat stuff, roofs and the like. I watch "Soundman" a lot just for general viewing pleasure and learning new tricks. The speaker pod thing I've seen a couple of tricks that look really effective, again without a good list of the items used. Quote

Ahhh cool Daryl, that would be great, waiting in anticipation Quote
BulletMagnet Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) Don't put too much hardener into the resin, did that once and when applying it with a brush, within 5 mins I had a big ball of gloop stuck to the brush Edited May 16, 2014 by BulletMagnet Quote
ChrisS Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Have a trawl through this site Ian. http://www.ecfibregl...uk/default.aspx You can actually learn a lot just by reading it. I've had a couple of bits for the jet skis from them. 1 Quote

But check this stuff out, shame it would cost to bring over. And we don't get THAT much sun.....

Cheers Chris I'll have a look through that Quote
