Hi,
The standard ansure would be MDF and wood glue. Medium Density Fiber board. I like to use Tite Bond wood glue. There is always Fiber Glass.

You should be able to get fiberglass and resin at Wal-mart or any auto parts store.

mdf works well. you can always glass over the mdf to make it the way you want. i like gorilla glue and 1 1/2" stapels.

he means that if you dont build the entire box out of fiberglass you can use the mdf box as a starting point....less work ------------- If we learn from each success and
