Thread: Fiberglass molds: Suggestions?

Tweet

what type of scoop do you want to build?? A blower scoop, tunnel ram scoop, or just a raised panel of a couple of inches???

For the floor board of my wifes 33 3 window , I laid a thick rubber packing sponge like substance out of a super charger packing box over the trans whick gave about 1 1/2 inches of clearance, wrapped with wax freezer paper and laid down some glass cloth--

I just covered some cross sections with chicken wire on a 1X2 frame that was attached to 2X4s. To that I allpied about three layers of glas amd filled with gelcoat for a mold.
Side pieces used braked aluminum for a mold.
Nose cone mold was chicken wire/foam urethane insulation with fiberglass applied for a mold.

Silicone spray lube worked for release lube for me, buy any handling will mess up later painting. Even the lightest of silicone from your hands will contaminate.

Check with any fiberglass supply house. They should have a spray mold release. The one I used was green, and water based, so cleanup is easy.

I'm not making anything intricate. just a half moon shape for an old plastic kit car

Thanks for the ideas!
