Re: Here We Go Again
Hey Hermit,

Re: Here We Go Again
How about in the yard in 400 different pieces
 If I keep learning from strick it will split time between the outer harbor (stage) and Pbay (two mooring theory).

Re: Here We Go Again
"Huston we have a problem"
Thanks for the nice comments but I get to remind myself constantly by my screw ups that I'm just a would be wanna be amateur. I spent the better part of 3 hours today cleaning up the bracket from it's unforgiving mold. Some of the MDF from the mold stuck to the part and I had to scrap ot off. For comparison it was like peeling off the label from a bottle. I had to wet the MDF and scrape over and over. The good news is that the bracket is out and looks good. The bad news is I have some sanding and a little quick fair work to do. I've never had such a hard time getting a part to free from a mold. Part of the problem is that I'm always trying something new and trying to cut corners. In the past 2 coats of epoxy and waxing the mold was sufficient. For this mold I put one coat of polyurethane and I don't think that was sufficient to make the mold smooth enough. Or maybe I should have used more part all. I've never tried PVA mold release so for the leaning post I may try that. At any rate here are a few pics as promised.            strick

Re: Here We Go Again
Thanks Bobby. I'll look for one of those sprayers. I still have the LP to build and I don't want to take any chances and go thru that again.

Re: Here We Go Again
Hey Strick, Fast work. I had a problem with a mold before. I most likely forgot to wax it. I had made several parts on it and I'm forgetful. I was getting ready to scrap it then I put some small holes in the bottom of it and pushed in 90 psi.
Worked a little better then I tought. Shot the part about four feet in the air. But it came out without too much scuff and scab.
