    Nice video man! To cut the fiberglass I use a bosch pmf 180, with a tile-cutting blade. this is an excellent tool because it vibrates instead of rotating, so glass dust does not go everywhere.

    This is about molding and not about the original sub box.

    Not 100% but yes it should, as long as you coat and seal the inside with a 2pak paint or gelcoat/flowcoat. Actually im making an alcohol fuel tank for a car fuel conversion and I wouldnt mind knowing the long range effects of it too.

    Do you know if fiberglass is an acceptable material to use for making a storage tank for alcohol? I would like to build a fermenter for making beer.

    Others might be interested to know that they also sell grinders (air grinders usually) with adapters for a shop vac, really helps with all the itchy dust. I’m sure they even have vac adapters for regular grinders as well.

    Great video. But I still haveq question:
    How strong is that gellcoat on the inside of the actual molds, how many parts can you make before it shows wear.
