The tool in all rights should have been at least a two piece mould with the forward section pulling straight off the nose.
Don't be fooled by the test part, rather let it convince you of the durability of the materials involved.  I stood on the mould and pulled and twisted that thing with all my might.
Pile it into the ground, dust it off, pop out the dings and stick it back on. 
Lets see you do that with an ABS cowl - NOT!!
We conquered the opaqueness issue with a couple of coats of automotive paint in the mould.
So the next fuselage will get brown camo followed by green paint.

These air fittings will be filled with clay and cast in place along with the o-rings.  I'll rough up the OD's with a file first to ensure adhesion.

 

Inexpensive, yes; effective, time will tell.

Status: offline 		no point in throwing another $100 in epoxy and cloth at reinforcing this section until I've seen the cavity - if all turns out well, I can always rough it up with a cup wheel on the grinder and lay down a few more layers of heavy cloth

hopefully this will set up enough to remove the forms tomorrow - now we wait....lol

It works well.  The flange is firm, but still somewhat moveable.

Spent some time organizing my new work area and got a good jump on the next mould section today.  The rest of the basement is clear and I hope to put some work stations along the walls to support kit production, should the project ever evolve that far.

I’ll let this set up overnight and tomorrow we’ll have just the leading edge sections to go.
