you staple it to round portions and you stretch it, that way it becomes round

[Desolation]

Great job!

When I redid my dash, I didnt smooth it with filling foam like you did - a mistake by me.

Im inspired and I might redo my center console in the same way, but I think I would use MDF with thin walls (5mm ~1/4 inch) and glass fibre. Gonna do some Photoshopping and see what might come out...hehe.


Good Luck with your project!

as an alternative to the fleceing have any of you guys seen bendy mdf you can get it in b and q sotres in the uk in 4ft by 2ft sheets or make it yourself by getting a sheet of 5-6mm mdf and using a circular saw cut 2-3 mm slits in the sheet all the way across the width of the sheet about 6-8mm apart so it looks like a sheet of lined paper hey presto it bends 2 layers of that would be perfect for the bullet enclosures with plenty of pva i say 2 as if they are used as sealed rather than reflex (vented) enclosures there will be alot of pressure inside the box also maybe add a brace in the center if you are gonna be using them real hard some of the compitition spl 10 inch woofers can produce upto 20 tonnes pressure inside a sealed box also a router on a jig can be used t cut really accurate circles in mdf rather than a jigsaw thus creating a god seal fra sealed enclosure
that said i do find the fleace idea interesting and think i might give the dash a go and add it to the long list of bits i have to do

[Ozzie]

Thin MDF (5mm) bends real easy, just wet it a little and put pressure on it. When it dries it retains its shape.
Slow process but it can be done.
