Curves going inward

in the last box i worked on, the fabric was held in via hot glue like they say, but afterwards i had a theory.. if yo arent cutting out the fabric in the middle of the speaker ring until after the resin is hardened, then place the fabric where you want it on the ring, put a spot of hot glue on the top of the ring in a couple of spots to hold the general shape, and stipple in the resin around the ring first. once the ring is resinned up good, take that blank, wrap it in something (painters plastic, aluminum foil, etc.) spray it down with some mold release, and push it into the ring.. now yo can hold your shape, but the mold release will give the blanks the ability to come out afterwards... like i said, it was just a theory that popped into my head, but it might work.. most of my skeletons are made of a compulsive overuse of dowels though, so that typically holds the shape for me

EDIT: you might want to put a handle or something on the blank so you have something to pull it out by.

hey im not sure if this is what you are looking for but the way i did this one was................i made 2 rings they both had the same outside diamater the bottom ring had the mounting hole size for the inner circle and the top rings inside circle was a little bigger than the speakers overall diameter to staple the fleece i put an 1/8 in ravet (i think thats how you spell it) around the ring that way when it dried it was almost flush.............hope maybee that helps
