Since my last post i have changed my process a little. I made that blue foam model to get the shape and form of my final. I have taken the measurements from that and have created another model. This model is framed out of mdf and covered with fleece to get an even uniform slope. I had seen this technique used many times in videos i have watched about fiberglass and now i understand why people do it. The fleece has stretching qualities that are ideal for this. This allows you to pull it over any shape/form staple it into place and stretch it to get any wrinkles out. So now that i have this form made i can move on to the next step, which is fiberglassing. I plan on putting a layer of epoxy down and letting that harden so i have a hard surface to glass over. Once the epoxy is hard i will start to lay the glass. I plan on doing 12 layers because this has to be strong and resist the vibrations of the speakers. Once the 12 layers are dry i will continue to the finishing process of sanding priming and painting. I am planning on a gloss finish. I dont know the exact color yet.
