Posted November 26, 200816 yr I'm going to attempt fiberglassing for the first time. I'm going to make some kick pods for 6.5" Midbass and Softdome Tweets. I've read just about every forum and "How To" I can find so I'm pretty sure I know what I'm in for, but the one thing I haven't been able to find is how much chopped mat do I need to buy. I'm going to order from US Composites and they have 3/4, 1 1/5 and 2 oz chopped mat. Which size is most commonly used and how many yards would be adequate? I'm sure I'll need some extra just incase I do some beginners f*ck ups Thanks, Bob.
November 26, 200816 yr have you checked out fiberglassforums.com good fiberglassing forum. and i only add two-three layers of chopped mat on my kicks and so far i have not had no problems.

A Badger and a Pasche, might have to get a compressor and brush up on my skills.
