***copied this from SMD thought you guys over here might like it
this is my start of a big build i kind of jump around a bit so sorry if its confusing i started with taping up some holes in the extened cab part for some expanding foam
i had a couple of leaks lol
this one is pretty bad the towel was my effort to stop the leak it didnt work at all i then had to pry the towel out of the foam
i turned out pretty good once it dried and i cleaned most of it up it sure made the panel a hella of alot more solid
no real update but i did go to tap today and i got some good stuff
i four or five layers of this and i think ill be alright :spiteful:
its the knytex 19 oz fabric this is thick
i also picked up some more tint to finish the whole truck in 15 then later i can go over it with 5 for a straight black its the smaller roll i didnt take any pics of it
last one tap had at both there two locations in sac now if someone is wondering why i use this resin instead of the surfacing resin here is why the surfacing resin is for a final coat it has a wax in it for the smoothness now resin does not stick to wax ( very well) then if you try to sand it its not going to do anything because all of the resin contains wax so all your doing is putting scratches in the wax the bonding resin contains no wax is used for high strength hope this helps someone
my back was killing me today but i still got some done it looks like crap i have to get the grinder out there is a couple air bubbles i dont know if you can see them in the pics but theyll get taken care of tomorrow and i think im going to pull the box out and finish it outside the truck
day after glassing i just let it sit where it is until its dry
Box came out no problem just a little pry bar and lifting and pop alot easier than i thought it was going to be
box in my garage now that its out now the real work can start five yards of knytex GONE!
this is one of the back sides even tho it will be a ***** and take time i will take all the foil off. just not today i have family stuff to do. but next to the washer you can judge just how big box will be
i had to clean out the garage and go to the dump today it was getting out of hand with all the projects so i didnt get alot done but i got some sanding done
i gotta go to my birthday dinner then im puttin some more resin on the box but bondo and what not tomorrow on the a pillar the other one is being a *****! the glue wont stick so im going to screw it in
i went to tap today picked up five more gallons i was short like 20 bucks but she threw the hardner and pigment in for free i got hooked up lol :yahoo:
white out
:lazy: my thread is lookin so boring im falling asleep lol but i did get more mat layed down had to switch from the knytex for now i bought all of taps out and am waiting for some more
