thanks for the tips…i orderd a quart of duratec surfacing primer and a quart of high gloss additive. i will be working on getting the mold in better shape today…
to add reinforcement to my mold, can i get the fiberglass that pep boys sells? of does it have to be a special type? chopped or woven?
Why dont you use tooling gelcoat and csm fibreglass grab a paddle roller and you wont neet to do all these extra steps
LOL…honestly, because this is my first mold ever. and i really dont know what and the hell im doing… all i know is i want to learn. the hard way i guess. and the fiber glass was given to me. so i thought it was the right stuff to use. i will research tooling gel, and cms fiberglass.
You broke your plug…
yup. but it is fixable…
The woven material at the autoparts store you can use with epoxy. The chopped strand mat you can’t. The Chopped mat has binders that wont dissolve in epoxy like they do in PE/VE. If you wanted a material like chopped strand mat for epoxy look for continuous strand mat. This works for both epoxy and the infusion process. Not that you need it for infusion, just an fyi.
oh, ok. got it…
