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..?


Are the boxes weak? trying to spray something on them to strengthen isnt
going to help in the long run.
