Definitely a complete video, Thanks' for the education, I have a project I will be starting soon and I found this video easy to digest, good job, thank you.
I use to do these instructional type videos. It takes a lot of time. Makes a 1 hour task into a 3 hour job because of all the camera positioning. Thank you for your time.
You are absolutely correct!!! Most of my videos have 5x of raw footage due to lighting and camera visibility. This video alone had 9 hours of raw footage. Thank you for the support.
I've been making molds and fiberglass/carbon fiber parts for years....what I appreciate the most about your presentation is the attention to detailed information. Steps, product info, product use, all really well done. I'm usually not to keen on longer instructional videos but the ones out there like yours, that have been thought out....kudos!!! End result, nice parts manufacturing in a small shop environment. Nice work!
This was a great video with a lot of information I wish I knew before making a 6'-8" fiberglass cowl induction hood for my grand prix because nobody makes them. Makes me want to make another one.
Wow, what a great tutorial. Even though I know I will never do anything like this, I really appreciated not only your knowledge you shared, but your video editing and visual shots made it real easy to follow. Great job, thanks. New sub.
What a brilliant job, spot on method and perfect video and instructions. I work on luxury and military ribs and I'll tell you my friend....you did an amazing DIY job! Congrats and thank you for your time recording the process. Subscribed with pleasure!
The excess fiberglass trimming can also be done when the curing process has reached a semi stiff point, or cheese consistency. At this point it is easily cut trimmed using a carpeting knife or razor. It’s much cleaner as it doesn’t produce the cutting dust.. WHICH IS NASTY AND WILL MAKE YOU ITCH ALL OVER DUE TO THE FINE PARTICLES OF GLASS!!!!
This question might sound stupid but with this process for this specific part, why not just create a "blank" out of fiberglass and just do all of that work you did with the MDF on the blank fiberglass board? Basically shape and form your custom part in one step.. Serious question.
That's not a stupid question. The idea was to show the whole process when making a plug, mold, and part. Also, I wanted to make (at least) two parts because we have two Mustangs. Ideally, I could have made a single part out of fiberglass. Great question.
Great question. It's very possible, if done correctly. If the gelcoat gets too hot or starts alligatoring, then it could damage the clear coat. I recommend practicing on a scrape part before trying it on your valuable parts.
Why add a solution of wax to the resin on the last laminate layer? It blocks the air from the resin and allows the resin to cure tack free… so it’s not sticky. Sometimes a light coat of PVA can be sprayed on the last laminate layer to accomplish the same. Polyvinyl Alcohol… it’s used as a release agent in FRP production.
It says from scratch, but the first thing I see is using a template of the poor fitting part to start with. Unless I missed something scratch is from your own mocked up template
Nice use of woodworking tools were completely unnecessary to get the end result. You have the original part. You are making a plug which is a throwaway item. You can take the original part trim off what you didn't want, sand it down so it's smooth, seal it, do a clay build up on it, wet polish, "Buck done"! Then go ahead and cast it and whatever media you want to, fiberglass, silicon, urethane.... Mind you if you were making an original part this is how you would do it and there is nothing wrong with what he did it's just time consuming and unnecessary.

Awesome!! What project are you working on?
@@mcgurrentertainment the worlds only 1967 Pontiac Z/28.... I know, I know...
🫡 that's badass
All in all, this guy knows his stuff. Results is a nice quality mold that can be used over and over again to MAKE MONEY!!!!!
Thank you
This is the best tutorial on fiberglass and the only one I've ever seen on mold making. Thank you for this video!
Thank you very much for the awesome compliment!!!! Let me know if you have any questions

How well does Super Release Green Peel Ply work? I'm curious before I purchase. Thanks

That sounds like an awesome hood. I would like to see that
FYI, I liked and subbed, I'm gonna check out some of your stuff, your i8nteresting....
Thank you

20 minutes in and I just wanted to say awesome video. 😊

Спасибо что очень подробно описываете процесс! 👍
If you can make this, you can make other things using this same technique.
Thanks for the lesson.
Exactly!!! 😃
Thank you for the support
Thank you for the video looks great good job
Thank you very much
Liked the post. Loved the ending !
Thank you
Quality F/G work there...
Thank you
damn dude great job
Thank you!!!

Gotcha
Great job bro. But that’s a lot of work for one part unless you’re doing to sell but thank for sharing
It was fun watching you make this but I’m very lost and I don’t have the tools
No worries, what part(s) are tripping you up? I'll be very happy to clarify anything I can.
Nice work! 👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥subbed✅

Great question.
This must have taken over a week to make with all the seperate dry times and the labour involved in doing it. Nice product tho very well done.
If you include making the mold and part; yea, just over a week.
Thank you for the support.
Have you ever applied some resin to the mold surface before laying the fiberglass?
Ah, I see. I made the comment as I watched. Cool video!
Thank you
You sound a lot like the host of the Project Farm channel.
Is it the fast talking?
@@mcgurrentertainment could be
I want to make a mold of my cars fenders, do you know if there would there be a way to do it without damaging the paint on the fender?
Great question. It's very possible, if done correctly. If the gelcoat gets too hot or starts alligatoring, then it could damage the clear coat. I recommend practicing on a scrape part before trying it on your valuable parts.
Have you ever used Super Release Green Peel Ply?
Good question. Not yet. When I start experimenting with carbon fiber, I'll try it.
Abs might have been a better match. The mold process is similar but he vacuum/oven process prevent itchy fiberglass sanding
Very nice

Correct
How much were all of the materials??? Thanks!
I didn't count it all up, but it wasn't too expensive.

I made a wooden plug (shape) from scratch by hand. Going to the car to make minor measurements and marks
Them lizards grow up to 3' long. They don't stay that pretty black. They turn brown.
Nice

Boo, bad taste for the beginning ad!!!!!
What was the beginning ad?
The first ad that I saw was Trump doing his "jerking two giraffes off" dance.
