lookin good fellas allyuh inspirin me

[nigel1977]

what the hell you mean you eh sand it yet.

man yuh real sticking.

I usually start sanding before the filler hardens. Its a technique called "greenstage" sanding, where you cut most of the filler off with the least effort. Its at the point just before the filler hardens, it cuts with 32 grit spaper like butter!!!

If you sand in green stage, your first stage in smoothening cuts down at least 2-3 hours prepping afterwards. We dont even use the filler file, normal 32 grit cuts it quick and very smooth, leaving very little fillering needed in the final stage.

whey de glass men at ?

[nigel1977]

you need to do a back mold (starting or base mold as its sometimes called).

then use stand offs to angle the mounting ring.

cover with cloth, fiberglass, and the rest is history.

2 questions

does it matter what type of tape i use to take up the spot ? can i use like maskin tape and foil?


anf for a irregular shape sub i saw they talk about packin peanuts but which method alyh use ?

[jeff]

you can use any tape, painters tape masking tape etc and foil

we use water to check volume..alot more accurate

[nigel1977]

dont use masking tape, the heat from the fiberglass reaction melts the adhesive as it goes exothermic, and it stays on the panel and is a pita to clean. Always use blue or green painters tape. Adheres like a biatch and doesnt leave adhesive residue on the job.

apart from water, you can use packing sytrofoam bits.

[jeff]

^^cheap masking tape this happens..never had a problem with the high grade maskin tape tho

i guess you cant go wrong with the painter tape

[spam]

explain the water method

i could visualize the foam but not the water

[jeff]

......uh am

how much water it takes to fill the box will be the volume of the box...........
