Posted October 3, 200816 yr I started my base mold about a week ago, and popped it out after the second layer. Right now im on my fourth layer for the base, and it seems to be getting really stiff. Probably going to end up doing 2 more layers. I have a question though, does fiberglassing polyiester rope to the inside of the box help stiffen it up? i thought I read about that on here but im not sure.
October 3, 200816 yr i use 8 gauge cable for stiffening ribs, works like a charm Edited October 3, 200816 yr by manbeer
