fiberglass shroud

nachosyumm · Apr 17, 2006

i am planning to make a fiberglass shroud for my bonevillev heater core (2 x 120). Is there a particular brand that works better than others. Lowes carries some elmers fiberglass stuff. http://www.elmers.com/homerepair/product_page.asp?pCode=E770

What will give the best results:
--fiberglass mat
--fiberglass cloth
--t-shirt

edit: this shroud will be shown through my abnormously large sase window. Will bondo work if i want to make the shroud smoother, or does just sanding it work better.

I would use Fiberglass, then bondo, then glazing putty for final finish topped off with some 1000 grit wet sand paper and it should look pretty good.

I understand

anyone have an opinion about the different materials?

Are all of the resins about the same?

soloz2 · Apr 18, 2006

I've only used fiberglass once before so I can't tell you if the resins are different, but they all do the same thing so I would imagine that it wouldn't matter too much. And yes, bondo should work to smooth your shroud out!

Here is my guide:

My method is certainly not the best because I was experimenting. My first attempt is actually much better.

very cool bryan. If you used some bondo, lots of sanding couple coats on paint, lots of clear it would look pretty sweet.

like he said in his other thread, he´s not big on looks, just cares about the performance. A good shroud is ont that gives u an airtight seal, not something to stare at all day, that´s the girls job

Besides, its not like he´s gonna take the side off and show everyone he knows how good his shroud looks. His pics were there as a tuturial, and as that it rocks !
guess some old school ppl hasent really gotten into the blue-lazers for case fee, and PSU-windows yet... and some might never do...
