Found a big block of foam and thought I would see about making my own center console. Here's the progress so far. This will be my first project using fiberglass... any pointers or advice? Should I use cloth or mat? Should I paint or use color resin?
Thanks Rob Attached thumbnail(s)

Very cool. Where can I buy some of this foam? That'd work very well for my plans as well.

QUOTE(CptTripps @ Nov 10 2014, 11:56 AM)  Very cool. Where can I buy some of this foam? That'd work very well for my plans as well. Here's some foam blocks from a taxidermy supply. It's easy to use, carves with a knife and sands nicely with drywall sanding screen. (Not so much dust) http://www.vandykestaxidermy.com/Search.aspx?k=foam%20block |
