I want to make some door pods (putting 6x9 on door) just need to make a riser[using MDF] and fiberglass, space is there just not depth in door

in the past when it was fiberglassed did not bond properly and was easy to almost peel off any tips on how i can get a better bond with the fiberglass to the plastic

thanks

Mike

Rough up the surface with a die grinder and 50 - 80 grit sanding disc. This will help the fiberglass to adhere to the plastic.

Usually the hardener that the fiberglass comes with is OK.
