LMAO, that caught me off guard, you must have added that recently.
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
When you do not know what you are doing and what you are doing is the best -- that is inspiration.

one thing you might want to try, sounds a bit ghetto but works is to get some of that foam that expands like craxy and overfill the area you want to glass. then shape it with sanders and stretch whatever over it. glass it then to get rid of it use acetone and you have a nice empty box.

Well, I got 1 way stretch material and stretched it over the rings, used super 77 spray adhesive, stretched all the way to the fiberglass pan same adhesive. Then when I went to fiberglass the resin completely destroyed the bond of the super 77 adhesive. Now the box is lookin bad because all the material came unstretched and is wrinkled. I panicked and started to staple the fabric back in place but it was too late. Here are some pics of it wrapped before I added glass. Gotta strip it back down to the pan and wooden rings again 1st fiberglass project - Page 2 - Last Post -- posted image.
