Where do you get your glassing materials?
 
Just wondering if there is a good online Canadian distributor. Any thoughts?

Not really.
Usually see that question about once a month.
What are you looking for? There's a user by the name of MR2NR, who owns an audio shop out it BC. I, among others, have purchased quality product from him. Maybe he has what you're looking for.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry for the repetition.
I'm basically looking for everything. Glass, resin, fillers. I've never done any glassing before so I'm just looking for something basic to get some practice and have some fun with.

I'm retarded. Ignore my post. I read iyours, but not the title... I answered because I thought you were looking for audio equipment - didn't realize you were after supplies for fibreglassing.

To that end, I'm of no use. I built a sealed subwoofer box a few weeks ago. I'm going to attempt to fibreglassing the outside, just for cosmetic reasons. Guys have said that Canadian Tire carries most of the materials you'd need.

I might be doing my own custom box too, the factory prefab box just isnt doin it for me. I did some fibreglass work in high school autoshop about 20yrs ago, so it couldnt be that hard, could it?

I have a feeling that it isn't hard, just hard to do really well. I guess we will find out soon.

i'm lucky that i have a local fiberglass store near me and get resin and mt for a resonable price.

and dont think glassing is easy... its some teedious work

mpimm 02-26-2009 09:56 AM

Careful where you get it from it has a shelflife and if it's expired will take forever too cure. Your best bet is to find a carquest or napa store and get some from there. You could also try a marine shop or a body shop who may have some on the cheap. If the price is too good to be true it probably is so just do a little homework first.
