hey! you continue to do good job, you mould is 100% nicer as my first fiberglass mould! your plug is ok?
it was a shock to see glecoat color! i'm a orange maniac and nearly all my cars are orange!
can you tell me what are the white pieces that we can see on some place on you mold?
FuNkY mOnK, you want to know what's happen next ;-) moring he put gelcoat, afternoon he layer, evening the body #001 is out of the mold!
very nice to see!
if you make a vey thick "body" (10-15mm) with wood reinforcement it can be used for vaccumforming..
