jason str Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I only use a textured roller on pro sound cabinets, the Purdy microfiber roller leaves a smoother more even finish. You will need to water the Duratex down for this, just a little bit or its ruined. Duratex does not stick to Bondo, you must prime. As for the brace nothing near 18" span should be acceptable, even the low cost cabinet kits have enough thought to use proper bracing.

Oddly, Duratex recommends using Bondo and no priming needed per their instructions. I have duratexed over Bondo a couple times with no issue. I do prime MDF before Bondo but only as a personal preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason str Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I should have said it doesn't stick well. Had one cabinet peel, it was clearly over a Bondo area. Ever since i just don't risk it and mention it where i can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MookieStl Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 if I had one fail, I would prime the heck out of the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete H Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I had a spud that the duratex didn't like bondo either. I now prime everything with Stix bonding primer, best primer I've ever used on any material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason str Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I use Zinsser oil primer, seals everything and sands great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sub cutout is 14 inches in diameter and centered top to bottom so center point is 9.25 inches out? ( top to bottom) How many inches out is the center point from the mouth panel?
