Atic,

looks like its coming along nicely! When you get it all done, just sand it down alot and apply a lot of body filler to make it nice and smooth and itll look great,

Looks like it is pretty hard to make the vynal form to the right shape

 

[Atic]

Yep...hard to do so i needed 2 pair of hands and a haird dryer to make it easyer..

Great tutorial. Thanks for that.

I just have one question. I have a box built of MDF and I was wondering if fiberglassing the outside would be something worth doing? It's the first box I've ever built and it has a few small gaps.

If the gaps are not more than 1/8" you can use body filler in them and glass over it.

Thanks for the great advice. I think that's going to be my fix.
