The mold that I built was made out of ply bent around formers.. so I will not have glass that up, its been covered in mylar and duct tape....So I really not able to create a "hat" I may be able to create some type of hat out of foam and glass it after I pull the piece off.
I realize that I am going to have some trouble correcting the high's and lows in it after I am finished.. because of the tape I am using.. any suggestions on how I would get around it? -Jeff >From: "Mark Langford" <n5...@hiwaay.net> >Reply-To: KRnet <kr...@mylist.net> >To: "KRnet" <kr...@mylist.net> >Subject: Re: KR> Turtle deck advice >Date: Tue, 12 Jul 2005 10:49:33 -0500 > > Jeff Wilder wrote: > > > Does anyone have any idea how much resin I am going to need to lay this > > up? > >You won't need more than a gallon to do either the mold or the part, but >might need more than one gallon to do them both.
