I have been doing some research on trying to make a fiberglass enclosure. I have seen that some people use a carpet type material to stretch over the box before u apply the fiberglass and i seen someone else use a tshirt. what works the best? What kind of fiberglass do I use? And can you give me some more helpful pointers before i start this project? thanks.

Are you using all MDF or all fiberglass or a mix of both?

I like the notes he made about what NOT to do as well. Trust me, that's just as important to anyone just starting out. Sometimes you dont think and forget the mold release wax... not that I've done that, haha.
