when working with fibreglass, and acetone.... they dont much get along with plastic cups [img]graemlins/banghead.gif[/img]

im glad i learned that lesson with the 8oz of resin in a cup OUTSIDE my car lol that could have been a nasty mess to clean up..... yea and acetone eats right thru those fawkers too oh well live and learn..... good news is, ive got the base layer down for how i wanna mount my 2 frontstage amps [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img] I HAVE A DREAM! lol should look cool i think its gonna be a fun time gettin the base outta the car once it all dries tho....:S
