mold making pt.2

The front mold half is finished and being prepared for the layup of the second this weekend.


Stabilizing boards were added to prevent warping and curving. Attached with bondo first to insulate them from the glass itself and prevent resin from pooling underneath and printing through to the mold surface.




Next, they're glassed on.




Fender washers are glassed around the perimeter to give perfect bolt alignment later.




Here's the mold fresh off the parting tray after some wet sanding. Next, wet sanded down to 1500, polished, and then waxed endlessly.




Here's the front side mold after two days of waxing.. two more coats today and the gelcoat for the back mold gets sprayed.
