    might not be much of a price difference between this and picking up a Yeti at their outlet center, looks like.

    I'm just thinking out loud though, feel free to stop me if I go a bit mad.

    More or less XPS --> Cloth and resin --> "Milkshake" --> Bedliner. Might opt to spray a few layers of enamel over it since bedliner comes in any color you want, so long as its black. Kind of defeats the purpose of a "cooler".

    I'm presuming your doing this for a fridge/cooler, so I'm not sure this advice would help, but when I did the audio panels I found that using 3/4 oz chopped mat made everything easier. I had to use a bit more layers, but getting all the contours down was way easier. I was thinking of using 10 oz. woven cloth with epoxy resin, basically the same as you would a boat/canoe/kayak, then spray the whole thing with bedliner. Should be plenty durable I would think.

    sounds easier than the method I used last time I fiberglassed something

    bartenders use it like carpenters use jigs: to make the same measurement over and over and over again without having to actually measure it

    Family was talking about the Yeti/Igloo Yukon coolers, and it got me wondering: how would a fiberglass cooler compare to a standard polypropylene/ethylene/urethane cooler in terms of abuse? Figured I could make one with XPS and fiberglass for a fourth to a fifth the price of those things, if only for shits and giggles.
