My "Sound Guy" I took with me to check them out before buying them,

said
it
would be worthwhile to strip the vinyl, and spray them with fibreglass
resin.


Its a little more than just a spray AFAIK, i used to work for a car audio
shop making enclosers, kick pods, panels, bezels, etc.. out of fiberglass
and there was alot of preparation and mixing involved and if not done

right
it can be a mess, its also very hazzardess your health and is deadly if

the
right precautions arent taken.

Now, dont get discouraged, if you feel you can do it, then i would get
intouch with a fiberglass supply company, i dont know of any in the UK

and
the one where i got my stuff from says they wont ship out of the US.


Take it to a surfboard shop and have them do the work. They do it all day
long, and they don't charge a lot.

I made some enquiries about the fibre glass spraying and it seems to be
costly.

Someone on a net forum just suggested painting with hammerite. Would that
waterproof and strengthen, or just waterproof..?
