Imperceptibly tiny pin holes like EVERYWHERE. Will definitely be picking up some extra body filler and resin tomorrow. Can't imagine how this might have affected previous enclosures... though previous enclosures included a lot more layers as they were much much larger.

I have no idea. I am going to wrap the sides with some foam and hope it fits in tightly enough to stay put.

If I anchor it to a panel I'll need to mod the trunk mats to ensure I can access the spare tire.
Awesome. In my experience, I had to use less hardener than I expected. I used the liquid from the resin, not the paste from the Bondo. My first shake turned into a bowling ball before I could get it into the enclosure. Need to keep it flowing for a bit to soak into all the crannies.
