re: Homemade Fish Box?

1) acquire a few sheets of 2" rigid roofing insulation (with paper backing, not foil) 2) cut the sheets to the size box you want (bottom, sides, top) 3) assemble the pieces using nails to temporarily hold it together (just push the nails in). it helps if you build a jig of some sort to get it square) 4) on the inside, use bondo or thickened epoxy to fill the inside joints and give you a rounded joint. on the outside, sand down the square edges to round off 5) lay up inside and out with chopped strand mat or woven roven and general purpose epoxy, several layers. you'll want to reinforce the edges and seams with strips 6) lay up the top, same way, both sides 7) paint the inside with food grade paint. either pait or sand and gelcoat the outside 8) affix SS hinges to the top and box, i usually thru bolt them thru a backing plate 9) glue a foam strip around the inside of the top where it hits the box as a seal 10) stand back, crack a beer and admire your cleverness
