corner sub box for JL 10W1v.2

I wanna do a corner sub box for the JL 10W1v.2 I bought last night. I REALLY want to do a corner loaded box...and I have searched and read for the last week...now I have a few questions... I know you tape the area, mix the resin and hardener...then you just brush the resin on the tape....how does the resin stay on the verticle surfaces? How many layers should you do when its in the car? How long does it usually take for each layer to dry? All I really have is a jigsaw (that I borrowed) is that okay for trimming the excess glass and the sub hole? (I have a vision of it splintering and cracking)

ok take tape tape up the whole area. get some spray glue and spray glue tin foil to the tape only. this will prevent the car from getting resin on it. Now applying resin is easy do this after you get area preped and protected. make your resin and put a first layer and brush it on the tin foil. covering all the tape/tinfoil. making the item bigger so you can trim later. get fiberglass chop mat available at wallmart, auto parts stores etc. applying atleast 2-3 layers of resin and matting. to the serface no need to wait for layers to dry. you have to saturate the matting and make sure you get as many bubbles as you can out of it so that your peice will be structually strong. and let the peice completely dry before you mess with it so that the shape will stay there. me i use good resin available at places like WWW.selectproducts.com and chop matte off the roll instead of in the packaging. ps my person thing with the matting is to rip it apart not cut it with a scissor cuase it allows for easier saturation. and interlocking strength that should help you somewhat continue posting and i will try to keep up on this to help you out.Jon

mecp certification is not always needed. I have it and it has not helped me out at all. my experience out shines it.

Thats helps....so the resin sicks to the tape and doesn't really run? When the mold is out of the car and has to be trimmed....is a jigsaw okay? I don't have alot of "wood working" tools. Once I get the mold trimmed and enough layers build up, I do the ring and dowl thing and stretch the flece ond do the same thing....Resin, let dry, then fiberglass 5-6 layers. The main thing I'm worried about is cutting the fibergalss after its dry.

Don't want to steal your thread here but I'm also trying this out for the first time. the only thing I'm really unclear about is the taping off process. I can do this over the carpet correct? Anything besides the tinfoil that I should put down to keep the resin from seeping through?

To speed up the taping process, you can just tape squares of foil, then spray it with pam.

Adding on to what most have said, be sure you taping quality is good, poor taping can also lead to resin leaks.I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
