Time for Casting

Okay,  I finally made it and by that I mean  a mold that worked. 




I was originally going to brush in resin but due to the size I thought it would be best to make this out of fiberglass.  Unfortunately,  I had never used fiberglass before.  I really didn't want to use it in the past because of the fumes but I read about an epoxy resin that Smooth-On sells.  I went ahead and bought a trial size of the EpoxAcoat Red for the gelcoat and EpoxAmite to lay the glass. 




For my first try at fiberglass it went pretty will and the cast only required a little work to get it perfect.
