Strick. Your manufacturing work is very impressive. Everytime I check out what you are doing, I am left w/ my jaw dropped.

I have a few questions:

Do you always use epoxy ?

The center console: when you used the foam to make the curved edge - how did you shape the foam and how did you make the inside smooth enough for glassing.

Once you make a mold, do you use cabosil or micro balloons for the corners ? Prior to glassing, do you apply a light coat of smoothing resin, let it harden and then put release wax on before you glass? Or do you do it another way.

Lastly, why didn't you gelcoat the console 1st, then glass ?

Sorry for all the questions, but your work is well beyond my scope of ability and I "ain't afraid to admit it or ask how "...
