i have a 13" x 4" setrab cooler in the front of my car... its been up and running with no ducting so far. id like to make a fiberglass shroud to duct the air out the bottom......
so - reading east coaster's fg cooler shroud thread i think this is a great idea.... BUT i know nearly nothing about fiberglassing.... i have no problem shaping a nice foam "plug" (what kind of foam should i use?) et..... so if someone could give me a run down on procedure such as... Plug / release agent/ fg cloth/ resin / cloth / resin they have a fiberglassing kit at FLAPS, 32 oz resin, 8 sqft fg cloth, hardener and maybe some matt was in there also - dont remember... so any help you could give me would be much appreciated AA |

I have been interested in doing my diffuser out of composites as well. I went last week to a shop that makes composite parts and talked with the owner for a bit. He reccomended I look at the information pages/tutorials at FiberGlast as a way to get started. He says they are pretty decent for starting out.
