You explained everything that I did wrong and lost my expensive master/plug or whatever you wanna call it. I almost gave up on fiberglass journey. Your video gave me a reason to get back and try agin. Thank you Bill.
Excellent video. Thanks for posting. I find your videos very informative and helpful for those of us who tackle fiberglass, FRP and CF. Thanks again Professor Gelcoat. Cheers from Texas.
In usa, even at my composites store, they carry only 3/4oz matt and 1.5oz matt. Anyway you could give a rough estimate on how to make similar strength parts? you say 225gsm is light but seems when I do the research 225gsm is way heavier than our heavy 1.5oz
Bill, I've been using your technique of wax application for years now and it works great! Only question i have about it is: how to keep the mold from lifting off of the plug during curing? In some spots, particularly flanges to widen the edges of my molds, it'll lift when curing and warp the surface. My guess is I'm letting the stack get too hot too quickly?? But that's just a guess. Any ideas?
Thanks to your videos, just did my first 4 piece mould on a Golf Mk4 r32 front bar. Needs tidying up in some areas around headlights although looks ok. Will see how the first copy goes. Thanks again mate.
Great comments Bill. I go to the chemist and get 10ml syringes to measure my MEKP. As long as you don't dip them in the resin they last a couple of months before the rubber seal fails, but at 40c each it's not worth taking into account..

Thanks Bill. You have saved me an embolism or two in my infrequent fibreglass projects. Very kind of you to put your experience out here.

Excellent videos Bill 👍 However I wish I'd listened to this before I ruined the wife's kitchen scales on a project 😂

Thanks Bill. With your guidance, I've decided to build my first fiberglass hood for my 91 GMC c1500.
How is the new race hauler working out for you, Bill?
Great video,we need more aussie content like this with experience and good teaching 👍

So if I understand this if molding to a painted car fender I need to wax fender, pva dye and strand mat and the resin to use is epoxy resins?
