Thanks Onkel! Yeah, I would say that the foil was easy to work with. I used regular Elmer’s glue to fix the foil to the styrofoam. Then did diluted glue all over before putting on the top sheet of foil. It had a pretty long drying time but once I put a sheet over it and then a few other layers of glue and primer it was pretty rock solid after dried. Once the base was dried and hard I put the sub into position and then worked around it to fill the gaps, work on waves, and the foam. Hope that all makes sense! I’ll definitely use this technique again.
