My project in the works, opinions please

I decided it was time to do away with my huge ported box for my sub, and make myself a custom sealed box that will let me have some trunk space back. I bought a digital camera when I was in the middle of this project, so unfortunately these pics start after I already made half of the enclosure. The fiberglass part you can see already constructed below was made by taping off the corner of my trunk, foiling it, then laying a layer of FG to get the exact shape of the trunk.

I'll be the first to say that my work isn't perfect, but I'm sort of new at this fiberglass thing. Let me know what you guys/girls think. Some of the pics don't look great because I had to resize them a lot.

This is the sub going into the FG enclosure. I decided to make a ring that would mount the sub flush.

Here I've hot glued my ring into the half enclosure.

Here it is wrapped with fleece, before trimming the excess.

After applying a coat of resin.

Here I am laying the first coat of FG. As you can see, I have the pleasure of fiberglassing in the great white North. I don't have a garage, and if I did this in my basement I'd drive my family out with the fumes.

This is a pic of the front of the box after 1 layer of FG. There's a patch (white) at the bottom of the ring that didn't turn transparent for some reason. I can tell you that it's not a bubble, and it did adhere to the fleece, but I don't know why it stayed white and it looks like hell.

This is it again, still one layer of FG. I'm going to add a few more layers and get pics up when I'm done.

Any questions/comments appreciated, or tips for next time.

well...im not much of an expert either at fiberglassing...but could that white spot be from the temperature you are working with? I thought temperatures had to be right for fiberglassing.

Great looking box so far keep the updates coming!

cheers!

bluetruck: thanks for the comment, and yes it's a 6000. I think they're great too.

I plan on painting it assuming I can get it smooth enough. Do you guys know if I need to use a gelcoat? Or primer and paint? How was yours done realitycheck?

Thanks for the responses.
