Custom Fit Cooler Build

[MetroMan]

It' actually simple .......... Get some fiberglass Mat ........... Cut it to fit. Doesn't have to be perfect ..... Can even use strips to layer if necessary. Just has to be tight w/o air space ......... Paint on the resin to soak the mat and squeegee out excess .... Let dry ........ Make a couple of coats and done ......... Just make sure you use the right resin. Some will melt foam insulation.

Auto and marine supply stores have kits that make it fairly simple. You should give that a try.

Neat idea nonetheless

Really great idea! How does it hold up? How long does your ice stick around?

I agree with Memory Maker. Fiberglass is easy. You still won't be able to sit on it... and it may not be real pretty... but it will hold up a whole lot longer.

Plastic dip will be more expensive and not nearly as rigid.

While you are at it.... you can use the fiberglass to mount a few tie down points just so it doesn't fall out in the event of a turtle.
