Default Scoop Bins

Hmmm lets think here. Who has built the best speakers over the years as
close to what you are trying to accomplish hmm?
Now, what did they use for an encloser...lets see Bose 301,
901...Infinity...Klipsch...My Altec Lansing Voice of Theater?
Now what are they made of.....they are the Best right.....they still sell
way above anything else on the market 25 years old right?
Sure they do ...just take a look see....you know it now and so it's obvious,
unless well you don't know **** about speakers or enclosures.....see that
wasn't hard was it?
MDF, HDF, MFD, WTF?
So now that thats settled...let move on shall we.....ok I have 8 monkeys to
screw this one board together and...........Oh sorry anyway

So we know we pack speakers correctly using padding right.........what kind
folks?...I can't hear you? Hmm kickass ones use sand........**** did he just
say sand? OMG, well we can just use nice foam or insulation...say it with me
I.N.S.U.L.A.T.I.O.N. now lets slap in some crossovers 2Way, 3Way..pop in our
pole sockets........

Crap I'm waisting my time just use Plexiglass some acetate and lights and
you're all done.

I recently acquired 4 18" scoop bins at an absurdly cheap price
due to reclaim of storage space.

Unfortunately, they are made of High Density chipboard,
and covered with aged vinly covering, but have good dimensions and are

VERY,
VERY solid.

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.

I am in E London.

Q1. Where can I get fibreglass spray in London?
Q2. Is it better to paint boxes first, then spray/paint on resin?
Q3. Would it be cheaper for a cabinet maker to do it ?

Thanx in advance.

There are new wonders every day, but I've never heard of fiberglass spray.

Traditionally, "fiberglass" consists of glass fiber, either in the form of
a
woven mat, or a thick muddy mixture of glass and resin.
The resin has two components, much like epoxy. There is a hardener.
The resin contains methyl-ethlyl-ketone, which means it smells very strong
and very bad. I would not do this in a very densely populated city area;
you
can get away with it in the suburbs.
