Re: Hard Top
Strick,
GREAT work ! Really ! You look like you're a pro. That job is first rate. How is it working w/ biax glass ? And, it looks like your working exclusively w/ epoxy - what brand and how's that going for you ? Any vacuum bagging ?
I would like to ask you about the electronics mold/box you made. I want to make (2) fiberglass boxes that will mount to the floor and have pedestal seats that mount to the boxes ( I will then make a tackle center out of one box and a fish well for the other ). This is for a Tsunami.
What material did you use to make the mold out of ? What is that white material you used to get that really smooth radius /curve ? What did you use as a mold release ( was it sprayed on ? ) Was this whole mold manufacture, lay-up a bitch ?
Being that I only need two boxes, would it be easier to just make the boxes out of ply wood ( or synthetic-stuff ) and glass over, sand smooth, then gelcoat, then sand and polish ?
What'cha think ?
