First box, w/ pics

q-cells are a thickening additive for resin, that basically makes a nice peanut butter that you can use for filler, and can even apply it in a vertical spot. sands like a dream. here's the link.

ok, here's another pic to hold you over till the final pics are in. it took awhile, because we had it painted, but had to strip it and go through primer and paint again. clear coat ate the paint. but, we're back to having a sexy box. more pics in a couple days of the whole project done.

Looking awesome man, excellent job!  Hey dont feel bad about the clear coat thing I built my little brother a gauge pod for his mustang.  The exact same thing happened to us, I think it was just the type of paint we had. Learning the trade one fiberglass creation at a time!

yes, aparently lacquer and enamel are not good friends. guess i should have read a little bit more huh. oh well, the owner got to play with the q cells some more last night fabricating the console. love that stuff.

what did you use the q-cells for again?Learning the trade one fiberglass creation at a time!

ok, the q-cells, are a super duper ultra turbo fine powder (fumed cilica), that you mix with your regular poly resin, and after mixing it, you let it sit for a few minutes, and then add the MEKP according to how many original ounces of resin you started with. then you have what i like to call peanut butter. then you spread it around and use it to fill crevaces, or it can be used to do serious buildups. right now we're using it reconstruct a console. the undesired portion was cut out, fiberglass was stretched across the opening, then it was filled with peanut butter. then we took an iced tea bottle, wrapped it with foil, then a layer of weave. after it was dried, we pulled it off, and now we have what will be the base of the new cup holder. more pics to follow after tonight, lots to be done tonight. but here's the q-cells on the console. and the cup holder

AND THE BOX IS FINISHED!!!! bout time, but it's done. still working on the panels, more pics of those whenever we get them done. and another one more. all you seasoned vets, let me know what you think... everyone else too of course.

most excelent!!

All Bleeding stops.....eventually!

that is amazing work...     i am at this time extremely aggrivated with big name install shops..(a&b sound)    and am interested in starting my own fiberglass box.  Only for two 10's,   but hey   i still want the trunk space and the ability to actually take out the spare tire. im looking for a good fiberglass research site but all i find are advertisments. i would be thankful for advice from anyone.  again... great job   doesn't look like the work of a beginner.
