i have always just gone over my box with resin. but i was told that i should not do that. i should also use a mat or cloth like this

so to make my box the strongest (fiberglass wise) do i just use the mat and resin? what is wrong with just resin?

resin on its own is brittle. The cloth is stronger then mat, as mat is just small random bits, where as the cloth is woven.

The whole idea of using resin in a box isn't to give strength but to protect from moisture and smooth the surface/corners. Polo..

what you said is pretty much what you should do.

use mat AND resin...

just resin is cutitng corners, and im sure evreyone on here knows what happens when you cut corners...

and if you dont know, the old man comes out of his house and tells you to stay off his lawn
