 Subject: molded rollpan
IP: Logged
Message:
i have a urethane rollpan to replace my lund fiberglass, i want to "mold" it to the body. i know i should have bought a steel one, but i hate how it is straight, The SS has nice curves to it. i have seen 2 daks last year that had thiers molded but i never asked them. so anyways, i would prolly have to make some kind of braces to reinforce it so it doesnt crack later. so do i use bondo or some kind of glass? thanks

well, if your talkin about doing it yourself, then its definitely gonna crack! even alot of good bodyshops never guarantee that molding a plastic rollpan won't crack. i think they use either fiberglass or a kind of epoxy to do it. I have a steel one that was molded on(DONT ASK ME WHY HE DIDN'T WELD IT!!! Im pissed at him), and it cracks every time he redoes it! so, u might find someone who can keep it from crackin, but IMHO i dont think so. good luck! Peace

it will crack. even the metal ones that are welded will crack over time.

the only way that it might work is to duraglass the urethan to the metal. it will still most likely crack because they are two different materials. buy a steel or fiberglass roll pan if you want to mold it.
