Can anyone tell me how I can get my resin moving smoothly so I can applie it with a paint brush. I used resin before but it always seams really heavy and thick hard to run it with a paint brush also kinda sticky. Is there a diffrent type of resin for caraudio and boats cause the one I used was for automotive body work. Any help will be appreciated.

If you want it thinner use acetone to thin out the resin.

I think bondo makes the one I use its automotive resin. So all resins are not the same?

they are.... just different polyester amounts.... There is actually structure resins, but in custom fabrication situations on small scale, it really doesn't make a difference. If the box was built properly with alot of matting, it's strong as hell.

Always over-estimate on the amout of layers, will save any worry and only costs a little more.
