Attempting my first fibreglass box!

Three days later, any update?
I've been thinking of glassing a box for my car but do not have the time to follow the project through unless it's a 3 hour job.. My 30 minute jobs turn into three hours for various reasons so I doubt I could glass a box in any amount of time 😆

If I could possibly give any advice, anywhere you could get resin on will get resin on. Your tape up looks professional

I would round a little bit those right angles and roundover them, so mat will lay better on thet wooden template. maybe use some ALU foil over the taped off areas, so you wont have hard tome to remove mold from the car.
make some more protection of the car arround the working area if you accidentally spill your resin,....newspaper, cardboare, polivynil,...enything will bebetter than nothing
Chris12 did project similar to yours not too long ago, you might check his work.....

Looks pretty good, how many layers is that?
If you have trouble pulling that mold out, drilling a hole in the bottom and hitting it with an air compressor can really help loosen it and get it out, then just patch that hole with some more glass

Only 2-3 layers maybe it was hard to do around the cup holder part because I F’ed the mold up so I’m gonna do a few layers in the garage on horses.
Took me 2-3 hours it’s my first time so I had to figure it out lol. Secret seemed to be putting in small pieces I ripped apart not the bigger ones I cut and tried to lay
