The folds in fleece

Hey, When making a fiberglass box, typically 3 (or 1) of the 6 sides of the box are made separately than the face of the box. When stretching the polyester fleece or speaker grill cloth, how do you guys deal with the folds created by stretching the material over certain sides? Ricky

Won't the overlaping layers wrinkle when soaked in fiberglass? Secondly wouldn't it be better to hot glue the cut edges together?

You should pull it tight enough that it can't wrinkle. Pull all the folds out, pull it really tight.Nik

Personally I like to use hot glue but in my case all the boxes I make are 100% glass. Using hot glue is easier to clean away later on if you need too. Also just pull the fabric as tight as you can and work a small section at a time to reduce wrinkles. If you do get wrinkles and they are not bad you can grind them out or fill them in after the glassing is done. But this takes a little more work.
