Can you use resin on cardboard? I need to buy a new cardboard glove box liner for the center compartment in my 74. I was thinking that maybe I could cover it in resin to keep if from getting nasty. So will the resin soak into the cardboard like I am thinking or will this simply not work?
 
The resin will soak into the cardboard but I'd hit it with 80 grit sandpaper to roughen it up a little... just to keep it from getting nasty I'd use rattle can paint or clearcoat instead. The paint will prevent it from getting nasty - it seals the surface just like the resin but it's going to be thinner and less messy IMO....
 
We yeah I wanted to give it some rigidity and seal it up. I have never been a fan of the cardboard glovebox liner in any vehical. They just always seen nasty and the first time your back window leaks water on a Vette its ruined. I know its not a huge deal, they don't cost that much, and no one will see it, but if I speand the money on this stupid thing I would like to only have to do it once. I have never really worked with fiberglass before so I am not familar with what I can use resin for.
