Re: Home made cooler

I've done it. Balsa works great and my old cooler kept ice longer than a yeti of its size. It is real easy to over do the fiberglass and make it heavy so be careful with that. I used a stainless piano hinge for the lid hinge, same clamps as a yeti and some epoxy ed flip flop cutouts on the bottom. The seal is an important part, and so is the lid. The thicker the lid the better.
