My brain thinks tech shit and I’m typically that ype of person that get’s bore REALLY quick if discussion/talk/work is not somehow related to tech. My friends and family keep telling me I’m wasting my time in this business and could be making millions elsewhere. They’re probably right, but I love what I do and hate the thought of working for someone else so I just plug along.

hahaha. eh sometimes im the same way though. im deff a nerd and I’m really trying to learn more about fabrication despite my limited resources and friends that do that kind of stuff. Thats a lot of really good info though thank you. I’ll probably go with a slightly cheaper resin/epoxy. Then again considering how much abuse a diffuser would take (rocks, exhaust heat, and occasionally scraping the asphalt when i drive through a pothole in the troylet) maybe i should use something that’ll hold up the first time. As for the mold the plywood was just going to be a frame for the fiberglass to sit on because the wood cant form the smooth curves i want but the fiberglass cant hold the rigidity i want. MDF sounds like a good route too though. Who is his Jim character? Thanks again guys.
