Default DIY cooler

this is easy and cheap
here is what you need
razor hoders
ca glue
styrene
and some kind of filler I used JB quick

remove one of the holders from the package
take a small piece of styrene and slide it into the holder

draw a line around the opening

cut out the piece and test fit it

cut the top off and tape it in the spot

glue it in and set it aside
now cut a small strip of styrene then cut in into 6 pieces 4 small 2 long

glue then to the holder one on each side near the top

cover the seam with filler and go build something till it is dry or build a second one to this point

now that all is dry sand it all smooth

sand off the extra on the handles

mask off the top

paint it what ever color you want I went with red when it is dry remove the tape and there it is a cooler


my masking was bad but it looks like a cooler the lid opens and it has a built in latch
hope this is helpful
