RocketMan: I don't love the idea of hammering on your fiberglass to de-mold it. I'd steal a few moves from the high performance rc plane guys and build a full length 2 part mold. The draft angles that you are fighting using a 1 piece male mold wont matter. Sure it seems like overkill because of the simpler lines of the nosecone- yet there shouldn't be any microfractures in the epoxy from hammering apart the mold.😮
Thank you for sharing this slide show. Good stuff and flawless plug.
Thanks Dan! I hope to make a few more of these.
Vraiment belle technique de stratification ..... très tres beau 👍👍👍👍👍
Excellent!
I’m really interested in this process for my 92 cardinal. Do you have a video or advice for making the plug ?
No video yet! Hopefully in the fall I will be making a wing mold. I will show how I make the male mold. Thanks

Making a plug is first step? You don't seem to address that.
Yes, first you have to make a male mold. Hopefully in the fall I will be making a wing mold. Then I can show the male mold process.
