It's a stuff box because we don't wear gloves in AZ. lol I needed the rear sail panels and wasn't about to pay for them. I went to Hobby Lobby and found the correct material. For $4 I was able to make two panels and a "glove" box. I used a squirt bottle w a lil water to make it flexible without breaking it, which is why it pealed on the edge in the second pic.

This is what was left that I had to work w...

"Correct" as per what I thought would work as far as thickness and density. I tried searching the site for you but can't find exactly what I used. I bought it in about a 3'x4' sheet for $4 at half off.

I thought about redoing it in a different material, but it came out so well I may just leave it alone. lol
