i finished my fiberglassing today on my box and went and bought rage gold. now my question is this. some spots are weaker then others, when i push on these select spots it flexs, once i put on the rage gold will this stiffen everything up or do i need to add some more layers to them spots?

more layers, the rage gold will strengthen it up a little, but over time the vibration will crack.

I'll second that.  Rage Gold is not for support.  It's a finishing material.  Definately more layers.

Alrigh now my question.... I've got a box (fg box) that I need to bondo/ragegold up.  How much will I be looking at?  1 gallon?  two gallons?  The box is fairly smooth already (no real major defects).  Just need a rough estimate.  Thanks guys!
