Thank you, so I should have plenty left for future builds, do you thin it at all and did you use a roller or sprayed it on?

For some reason in mi mind even paint is spendy, :oops: Last time my wife made me paint the house it was sad to see the cash I needed to spend on that. :(

HELPPP! :oops:

I finished the horns but when I was trimming the bottom of one of them I went about an 8th overboard, would I still be able to use the horn? is there any solution other than re building the whole horn?

Fill it up/rebuild the thickness with succesive applications of bondo if you think that will suffice, or add a nice thin piece of ply and PL it on, let it set, and re trim...
Built:
DR 250: x 2 melded array, 2x CD horn, March 2012 plans.
T39's: 4 x 20" KL3010LF , 2 x 28" 3012LF.
WH8: x 6 with melded array wired series/parallel.
Bunter's Audio and Lighting "like"s would be most appreciated...

an 1/8" is not bad when you are cutting the horn to fit inside the cabinet box.
When you install the horn inside the box put a large bead of PL on that side.
Drumming is a way of life.

+1, especially if you use some temporary screws to hold the horn in place with the gap halved to either edge.
