Manufacturers recommended application - 2 coats sealer, 5 coats topcoatMaking a Mould from a PartTo make a fibreglass mould from an existing part, you would normally mount the part on a backing board. Generally speaking, we build all our moulds with flanges, assuming that at some point we will want to use them in a closed-moulding or vacuum infusion process. It is much easier to build flanges into the fibreglass mould from the start than to do it later. mould flanges should be a minimum of 150mm-200mm being preferable. Mount the part to the backing board by whatever means available and necessary. Hot glue is one method as it sets up quickly and is usually removable, however, if you are dealing with elevated temperatures hot glue will not work. Once the part is mounted on your backing board fill and fillet any gaps or transitions between the part and the backing board so that your plug becomes one unit. The surface quality of your plug and your backing board will be reflected in the gelcoat of the mould. It will not get any better, only worse. Before proceeding, bring the surface finish up to the level you desire in the finished composite part. With this type of plug we generally recommend using paste wax and PVA as the mould release. The PVA will make a physical barrier in between the plug and the gelcoat of the fiberglass mould. This provides a little extra protection to the finished part you are using as the plug.'
