First plug. 4th attempt. Need mold help please.

Here is the last plug.











Went to pop the mold and disaster struck.
Anybody got a spare gator tag? I might have a state record here.








Now, I must enter the confessional.

The first coat of gelcoat went on fine. I may not have let it cure enough before the second coat. A local boat builder recommended going with a hotter mix for the second coat. May have been a problem. Gatored pretty fast on the second coat.

Charlie, at glue products has been very helpful,
but he has some different ideas about products and procedures.

I used flexible "bumper" hi build primer and clear coat on the plug. I used silicone spray release per their manufacturers recommendations with one coat. Charlie thought that strange. One coat? yeah, only one.

So it`s all back down to plastic parts again. I`ll take nuts and bolts pics and post the beginning.

Cheers,
GFS
