October 6, 201113 yr Author Thanks. Yea, he said I will eventually move to the shop portion of it. I know $350 is not much for someone with rent, utilities etc... but my only bills as of now are car insureance ,health insurance and phone. Less than one week will take care of those. So I should be starting my audio build at the end of the year or EARLY next year.

October 7, 201113 yr I'm not sure what adhesive your specifically using, but dap weld contact cement would definitely work. They make it in a commercial spray version or in a can.If you use a can and dab it on, be light with it so it doesn't seep through.I've had good luck using 3m 77 spray adhesive for small stuff, but I only used it to hold material for an hour or so while the resin cured.

Thanks. I actually think I may paint it black and do like a splatter paint on it. I think it would look pretty cool.box looks great man... !!! :fing34: Thanks Danny!
October 7, 201113 yr I used Titebond spray adhesive the medium and it came off when it got hot in my car.. like i said look for the toughest stuff possible spray both sides, let it sit for about 20 seconds then push on with pressure.

Any good contact cement like this stuff will more or less permanently bond it. While you want the application light enough it doesn't seep through, it needs to still be enough to get a good bond. I've used it many times over the years and never had a problem, unless I tried to remove the carpet, fabric, or whatever I had glued. Then there was an issue, lol.

Then paint away. You could also do a bed liner type coat (I've seen some boxes with this and they looked pretty damn sweet).Like this:
October 7, 201113 yr I did bedlinen on my xcon box. So I wanna try something different. As long as you don't do fuzzy green shit like some people from FL did....
