April 8, 201015 yr Author Damn it man, you worked your ass off today.Great start.What brand resin do you use and what is the work time with it before it jells?I like to hit it hard when I do. My last pods only took 8 hrs but the back of them was wood. I think I am doing good concidering I am building 4 pods at once.I got the resin at the the auto body store, its "Evercoat" brand. It doesn't seem like theres much diff between brands as far as I can tell.I was just wingin' it on the hardner because I was only mixing 8 oz. at a time. I was doing like 35-40 drips for 8 oz. and it started to gel after about 20 minutes. I used like 7 or 8 brushes and a ton of gloves.
April 8, 201015 yr I managed to not get any resin on the car SO I am HAPPY........And should be. Nice work.
