I use a silicone mold-release sometimes. Works really good, but it's more expensive than wax, takes the same amount of time (need a couple coats plus dry time.) I ended up going back to Partall release wax. PVA is only so-so in these applications, if that's what you meant. More trouble than it's worth, for sure. Thanks The wires for the amp were planned from the git-go. You'll notice on the end of the amp rack nearest the seat there is a few inches of space as it gradually curves down. Wire channel! And the amp is spaced up 3/8" so the signal cables run underneath it to plug in on the other side, and allow for a little extra cooling via convection. Wires down each side of the car are zip-tied about every 6", and loomed anywhere they need protection - under the hood, above the drivers feet. The battery was re-grounded, and the amp was grounded to the floor below the back seat. I own Bobwires Audio

Here's the conclusion Everything was sprayed with some black urethane primer I had laying around. Everything is 100% water-proof, and blacked out for looks. The vinyl was wrapped with NO heat.... the gap closes up nicely. the radii of the box and grille look pretty good! I'm really pleased with the shapes here. Tweeter pods wrapped, and in place.

thanks the fiberglass is just .75oz CSM, with some Knytex combo mat thrown in there. Black dye is what makes it the color you see. Both layups are about 1/4" thick. fillers used are Duraglass, Evercoat Rage Extreme, and a cheapo evercoat filler for the bulk of the rough stuff. This is by far the most filler I have used on a single job, at least in many years. I had to fill a lot more than I planned up on top..... When the glass is nice and smooth the filling and sanding work is cake.

I'm a stereo guy. The stock deck is too shallow, so the kits for the aftermarket replacements are spaced an inch or more. Metra makes a dash kit and harness for it. -
Gotcha. I was assuming it was a cheap mass-produced box with the pre-carpeted panels. I think you're method of wrapping is what made it peel - wrapping a box without tuck lines or side inserts is tough, but you can do it in such a way as to avoid the seams on the box corners. The seams there will pull up no matter what glue you use.
