Re: Duratex hardness
If you are planning to ship cabinets that have been coated with Duratex i recommend 10 days minimum cure time, it dries quick but the cure time takes a bit.

Re: New THTLP
Lots of bracing missing for a 36" wide cabinet unless the pic was a during process.
Always fun breaking in a new driver.
Its best to borrow or invest in a microphone and do some measurements if you are able, then you can properly set up the crossover.

Re: SLA Pro vent coverings?
Perforated metal panels or metal screen is the way to go. Grille cloth or spandex is going to end up having holes either ripped or burned through them.

Re: PL bleed through finish
Bondo will always show through, with a change in the finish like you're experiencing. Duratex also does not adhere well to bondo, AcryTech specifically says not to use it. If you prep and primer correctly you can cure the adhesion problem. But the finish change never seems to go away. They say use ...

Re: PL bleed through finish
Rustolem 2x primer will fix it. Make sure it's the 2x. For anything I have to fill that's of any consequence I use elmers wood filler. Bondo shows up shiny, unless you get a really thick film, too thick I think. Bondo is a much better product than Elmers wood filler. The Rustoleum product you menti...

Re: PL bleed through finish
Then try the shellac based primer to seal the PL and the wood. I bet its the difference in drying times that's causing the flash. You can use it at any time. First coat, middle coat, etc. That makes sense, i have noticed dry times are different between surfaces probably based on how porous it is. W...

Re: PL bleed through finish
I use the random orbiter for the initial and maybe second sanding but block sand everything else to keep smooth flat surfaces. After multiple coats of primer and block sanding after every coat there is no variations in the surface, its all flat and smooth before final coat(s) of finish. Wish i had a...

Re: PL bleed through finish
Bleeds through everything i have tried to finish cabinets with. Primer, paint, duratex. I've got 11 cabs built with PL and don't any kind of bleed through on a single one. Are you sure it's bleeding through, or is the seam just not sanded truly flat? I hit every joint with a random orbital sander a...

PL bleed through finish
In the past i have had issues with PL bleeding through all types of finishes with the exception of hardwood veneer. Tried a dozen or more types of primer and always the same results, worse on flat finishes but still noticeable no matter how many coats are applied. Any tips on how to combat this issu...

Re: 15" THT 36X36X27
Bill, I have hardwood floors. Will this be fine on the floor our should I put a small carpet under it, maybe rubber drawer liner? You need a carpet or rugs covering at least 80% of the floor. Otherwise you'll end up with subway acoustics. Wood looks nice, sounds bad. That's not really an option rig...

Did much experimenting with a long style Table Tuba, works best down firing.
Does not sound right facing up, may be the pitch of the roof.

Downfiring THTLP
Standing at just under 90" tall. 21" wide cabinet with the Dayton 390HF. Still not sanded, breaking it in now. http://i1348.photobucket.com/albums/p722/jasonstr69/SAM_0172_zpsnhypeash.jpg http://i1348.photobucket.com/albums/p722/jasonstr69/SAM_0211_zps1vmrb4vh.jpg http://i1348.photobucket....
