Dont forget to fill it with it with red cans. Then I will carry it.

I would do the following. Get speaker box carpet from the flea market. Wrap around HEB Cooler like Kumz did with the bandage and resin it. You end up with the same strenght (if not stronger) as 3 layers of fibreglass. Seems easier and will be stronger. This is what we in car audio for moulding. Its easier and makes less of a mess.

Looks good, ill check it out at the next social.

Hi Kumz

I would suggest putting some refrigeration tape over the cooler, will help with the insulation in my view.

Hiya Wayne

Patience buddy, i only started the project two days ago. I will post once everything is done.

The pic i posted is to show you how to do the handle insert into the coolerbox. Does it make sence?

Apologies for coming coming across as impatient. Your explanation does make perfect sense. Why I was asking for a pic of the finished product is to see how you've sealed the holes left by the plugs or if it would even be necessary to have them sealed.

So how are you progressing with the project?
