Default Re: Building 1 time use mold. input?

Strick - did you make that Leaning Post? Curious what plans you have for your custom livewell/leaning post

70s - I have a question / thought and don't know if it would work... What are the chances you can core it with some kind of closed cell insulation - instead of plywood? You won't need the structural benifit of plywood, right? So what other materials can you core with? As for closed cell, are there any panels that are flexible enough to be the core? Or another thought, if you made up a mold of something flexible (vinyl for instance) could you pour your core of closed cell
insulation and then lay up the glass around it... Just something I've been bouncing around with in the tiny mind

Next - I'm not sure about the baits you suthnern guys use but some of the ones we use up north, herring and mackeral, need to be able swim around a tank with no corners. If there are any corners, they tend to collect there and eventually not get enough circulation thru the gills and go kaput...
