Steven Norris Gold Member Username: Stnorris Davenport, IA US Post Number: 1986 Registered: Apr-06	Posted on Wednesday, January 31, 2007 - 22:13 GMT i say pour it on and tilt the box around, that works for thicker applictions and for the corners

snarl2004 Silver Member Username: Snarl2004 Post Number: 163 Registered: Dec-06	Posted on Friday, February 02, 2007 - 00:49 GMT should you put resin on the port or only inside of the box?
Canaan Gold Member Username: Southernrebel Monroe, Louisiana DD 9515d~~]... Post Number: 4291 Registered: Mar-04	Posted on Friday, February 02, 2007 - 01:23 GMT holy snit...1 gallon for only a 3cuft box? You dont need anywhere near that much man!!! A Pint of resin, some red dixie cups, and a few spreaders....thats all your need! Mix up ~1/3 cup of bondo at a time in a doubled cup w/ plenty of hardener. Pour it inside on 1 wall, and spread into a smooth layer. Be careful though, it will eat thru the cups. Mix it up good and pour it out quickly. I always buy and extra tube of hardener also...so i can use alil more than recommended and it will harden alil faster.

richard Gold Member Username: Rvlacos DD 3512 United States Post Number: 1459 Registered: Sep-06	Posted on Friday, February 02, 2007 - 03:17 GMT ok i am finished resining my box! and canaan tell me about that was a waste of resin! i was told i needed a gallon so i got a gallon and mixed it all at once with the hardener. then kept putting layers till the bowl started clumping and i didnt even use half the gallon! i even poured some in corners. inside the port was a pain in the butt. its all dried and back in my car i can barely, barely tell a difference. but oh well it was a learning experience. DIYers rule!
Canaan Gold Member Username: Southernrebel Monroe, Louisiana DD 9515d~~]... Post Number: 4295 Registered: Mar-04	Posted on Friday, February 02, 2007 - 03:21 GMT note DO NOT MIX ALL THE RESIN AND HARDENER AT ONCE!!! Mix up just enough for each wall in cups. Smooth it out...let it harden...go to the next wall. Do the corners last.
Trevor Eaton Gold Member Username: Tdeaton1021 Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 3760 Registered: Sep-04	Posted on Friday, February 02, 2007 - 15:30 GMT that made me laugh. "so i got a gallon and mixed it all at once with the hardener" I'm sorry nobody mentioned to NOT do it all at once lol. got damn that must have been alot of resin lol. the most i ever do at once is 8oz.
