Kyntex?

I was just reading some stuff about Kyntex and was wanting to know alittle bit more about it. How does this stuff compare to Fiberglassing and stuff like that?

kyntex is the mac daddy, mother of all fiberglass products.

I use kyntex exclusively for my sub enclosures and other parts i need to be very strong. My sub box is only 3 layers of kyntex thick, and it will support the veight of the vehicle , (I tried !)

Once you use kyntex in a sub box, you will ask yourself why people even bother messing with chop mat.

Basically, kyntex is a layer of chop mat, and a layer of heavy cloth, stiched together, with the fibers criss crossing. I normally apply it in strips about 1.5" by 6", and alternate directions with each layer.

Good stuff.

lol yeah I saw the pic, that's what got me wondering about this stuff. I was at the forum where you'd posted the pic at (forgot which one Sounddomain or CarSound), but I was like WOW! And was just wondering because I'd never heard of it. Do you use the same resin? And alot more of it I bet

I was gonna post a reply but what Mike said sums it up. We have used this product for creating dashes, very strong, and can take a beating.

yeah, same polyester resin as any other fiberglass.

Actually, it soaks up no more resin then just mat and a layer of cloth would separately.
