podium on the trunk lid for amps — logbook Toyota Corolla Levin 1998
work continues with my Levin … began to make podiums for car audio. with the podium for monoblocks is a little clear, so you can post photos, the rest is in a leisurely process)
If anyone has any questions I will always answer...
Brother, interesting idea! The current question is, the trunk lid is not heavy, will it open or will you put additional pushers?
fiberglass trunk lid, much lighter than the factory one, well, plus I’ll put gas torsion bars ...
yes, I used vinyl film (filmolux), foil, thin 2-sided tape. and the result is a good separator, the resin does not stick)
In the first photo, the entire trunk is covered with a film? Was it used as a separator?
no question, I’ll tell you of course ... first I removed the matrix from the top cover and from the stiffeners, before directly removing the matrix, I strengthened it with stiffness so that it didn’t lead. after you wax the matrix itself, then you mold the products. after which you do eat st.pl. stiffness, you make fasteners for the pedals. After you paste the stiffness onto the st.pl itself. cover. (the cover remains in the matrix until the end of all operations, YOU DO THE REMOVAL AT THE VERY LAST MOMENT WHEN THE RIGIDITY IS FORMED), otherwise it may be driven by a helicopter. call on skype...
Blaine did a great job. I'm also thinking of making a fiberglass trunk lid. I just can't seem to figure out where to start. Would you answer? and a little in the piggy bank.
Beautifully done, it is very interesting what happened with the full design of the trunk
the cover has become heavier, but due to the torsion bars I think to solve this problem)
cool! looks very cool! and due to the increased weight on the lid, the trunk will not fall?

I don't know, try... I'd take it off. the only thing is, add aerosil to the resin - this is one time, and soak the pieces of the mat on a piece of cardboard, and until the mat becomes limp, throw it on the trunk ... then you will mold it on the spot. is 2
Aerosil is what?

So it is possible, albeit problematic. I really don't want to take the cover off. Is it possible, after all, to smear with epoxy, let it dry, then glass mat or fiberglass, roll it and soak it on top?
however, it’s problematic, you’ll fray your nerves, and if you don’t have experience in working with glass materials, it’s better to take it off ...
It worked out great! I have a question - is it possible to remove the matrix from the inside of the trunk lid without removing it?
they also have to repair kayaks with something ... try to look through the Internet, they sell resin in containers of 20 kg, and a mat by weight in kilograms. we carry polyester and glass mat from Nizhny Novgorod ...
In Volgograd))))) . find out by yacht clubs, if someone is repairing boats / yachts there, they will tell you something for sure ...
I use emulsion glass mat, the density is 300 g / m2 of glass, and 450 gr.
I use polyester resin, and it’s not necessary that glass mat is used only with polyester, but epoxy with fiberglass ... it’s just harder to work with fiberglass, just like with epoxy (especially Soviet), it is thicker and impregnates worse. and in terms of harmfulness, chemistry is also chemistry in Africa, is it epoxy or polyester ...
I use carpet to give shape, then I impregnate all this with resin. skin, and strengthen it with a mat ...
Super done! That's what it means hands from the right place! only ***** !
May I ask what fiberglass do you use? what brand what density what price per meter? And then I bought it somehow it was too dense, it was poorly impregnated and did not fit well on the corners
. And what resin do you use? polyester or epoxy? I heard that they make polyester with glass mat (very harmful and smelly -) and epoxy with fiberglass (harmless, not smelly +)
And what do you put on top of everything? carpet? and why?
in general, the class turned out! there is a question! I worked with glass 1 time, I made a sub in the trunk and cilia), but the problem is: after drying, the ribs are too “hairy†for me, even when I cut off the extra ones, it still scratches on the side and after the skin the hairs stick out) how it is avoid? otherwise I’m going to do the podiums, I want it to be neat) throw the answer in a personal please!
nicely done :)! THOSE. as I understand the trunk is now plastic? You can write the whole process in a personal if it's not difficult! And I'm looking for different options for working with fiberglass?
a good idea. I also thought we could stretch and impregnate with a carpet, if there is no aviation fabric
yes carpet, yes carpet, for shaping. then soaked with resin. then sealed with glass mat
Freaky! and this is straight Carpet pulled on the top panel and impregnated with epoxy or what?
In order to express my admiration, I want to use non-normative vocabulary even)
And I think the idea of ​​the location is not very good. the wires will all bend, and there are quite a lot of them. performance - well done
