A buddy of mine i talk to is thinking of using this idea to build a new sub box. Apparently there is a new type of spray-on fiberglass that a automotive painter he knows can get pretty cheap. Hes thinking about building the box out of 1" thick styrofoam from the hardwood store, then spraying it with this fiberglass stuff. will this work? cause it sounds like a pretty cheap alternative.

I also think he is talking about a chopper gun, a shop here that makes Jetski hulls uses them. They make a huge mess and are definately not worth it unless you don't care about a huge mess in your car that will take about 200 hours to clean, and you need to make 200 parts off a mold, otherwise it is more efficient to just lay up by hand.
