I must like punishing myself

alright been messing with the console and its been a a little of a headache. I goofed when I cut the console down so now I am adding an inch back to it and molding another top back on to it with the livewell lid recess built in.

I got the sides glassed back into the console and trimmed them up.

I decided to flip console over and get it secured to the table and gonna laminate from the inside. I cut some mdf and waxed it up and screwed it all the way around. I sealed it up all the way around with the hot glue gun to keep anything from moving.

last one is with the livewell dry fitted to make sure everything fits.

waiting on some more resin......

back from florida and got some other stuff done.

I want to get this console put back together so I built 2 plugs for the console lid. one is 3/16" bigger all the way around. this is the one that gets put down in the mold to laminate over. The other is a template for the acrylic lid I will have made. I used the standard radius tool (WD40 can)

I got the plug for the hatch centered and nailed it down, once this was down I put some radius wax around the plug then on goes the mold release wax, PVA and a coat of Duratec.

tomorrow I will laminate it.
