    No not at all, guess I'm lucky. I tried working with these thin gloves but it doesn't work. When working with the resin and fibreglass mat I wear them, but not when the stuff has hardened.

    Fiberglass SUCKS...ahhh...makes me all itchy just thinking about it! Great looking mod so far though! Can't wait to see how this pans out!

    Great job with the fiberglass! I also like how you drew the ellipse. Takes me back to my high school geometry class.

    I bought a cheapass electrical sanding machine, because I have to smoothen te surface from the lit. By hand it would take me ages. I'm glad I bought it, because it saves me lots of time.



    The top of the case is almost ready, the sides will be done next days. Ofcourse I wear a mask while working on it. I almost look like a snowman after sanding :brrr:



    When all the sides have been sanded I will use a special kind of bondo to fill up every little hole and wetsand it afterwards. To be able to cut of the small airducts straight my dad made something for me. Now I can saw it and all the airducts will be the same size.



    Worked great. Now I can mark the lit. This has to be cut of for the airducts.



    The holes look a bit big, but when the airducts are placed it already looks a bit better.



    and that's not all, I will also create some sort of fingergard from acrylic. Looks fantastic, but you will have to wait for that.

    I cut some holes in the lit for the airducts with my fake Dremel.





    I numbered the holes and the airducts, it's all handwork so there all the ducts are slightly different and fit only perfectly in the hole with the same number.

    After three days of bondoing and sanding the lit is almost smooth. I will need to wetsand the lit one more time.



    I want to glue the airducts to the lit and want to use some UHU 2 components glue for this job. On the UHU website it says

    Metals, glass, porcelain, ceramic, wood, marble, stone, concrete, Duroplast®, glass fibre reinforced synthetics, rigid PVC, rubber, rigid foam plastics such as Styropor®. Not suitable for sticking large areas of glass.

    So I think it will work, but to be sure I will try it on some leftovers first
