Fiberglass fuse construction
ptxman,
I've been thinking of starting a new thread for this topic but since it has been mentioned here, I'll take this opportunity...
When painting inside the mold, what precisely is your procedure? Specifically, do you shoot a clear coat in the mold first, then mask and add color/trim, then add the layup or do you apply only the color coats inside the mold before the layup and clear coat the piece after it is 'born'? What about joining seams? What is the procedure for dressing the seams when the part is prepainted in the mold.
My next question is about plugs. What is the best (adequate) surface preparation before the layup of the mold? What will produce that glass-smooth surface?
Fascinating stuff. Good forum and great topics!
