here is somthing i have come across in my box building days. many people have plane wood boxes in there cars or trucks. most with carpet. here is a way to get that glassed over look without the high cost of resins. just take elmers white glue and paint it on with a brush. make it kinda thick around 1/4in. or so. when it drys it will be smooth and if done right no air bubbles or pin holes. also when it drys it will be clear. so eather you can just clear the box with auto clear or you can paint it.

also if you want more than just a square box you can use fome or wood to add some shape to it. just get your fome or wood cut it into the shape you want. glue it to the box and then elmers glue over that part to.

i myself glass everything. this if for the people that are looking for somthing other than glass or bondo that is quick ez and cheep to do.

well i think you could accomplish the same thing with a little fleece quart of resin and a few trim rings and it will much better quality heck my lumbar yard will give me scrap peices of wood sometimes and if your that tight find an old tshirt or something like that and a quart of resin is only like 10 or less i wouldn't want to give up quality, so something that cost pennys just end up doing it over cuz something will fail your a scarry person i hope this works out and is like a new trend so you can put this in our face but it is not looking good man sorry.

I admit that is a bit extreme in a crazy way. alt. to resin 4 smooth glass look -- posted image.

dark02, do not want you to get discourged. I will give it to you, it is creative, but not practical. You are new to the site and there is plenty to learn even to those of us who has done it for 15+ years there are always new techniques being invented.

Stick around and continue to experiment. Do not let this be the last post because of a little criticism. I look forward to learning some new techniques from you too.

spary paint loves up foam, in my experience. and thats a lot of glue, i'm pretty sure 1 or 2 coats of resin would easier and cheaper.
