What went wrong?
OK... I have made a few molds in the past with mixed results. I am currently building a Extra 3.25 and made the plug for the cowling from styrofoam, glassed it, filled, sanded and got it to a point were it was pretty smooth and acceptable. I clear coated the primer (Duplicolor filler / primer) with Acrylic Enamel, wet sanded till smooth and glossy. I went ahead to make the mold, applied approx 10 coats of meguirs #8 mold release wax. I was so slick that I was having trouble holding it. Anyways, made the mold and I couldnt seperate the halves. I finally just melted out the foam and tried to peel the layer of glass from the inside of the mold and all the paint, primer and glass stuck to the inside of the mold. Ive been trying to save this mold but I dont think I can. I need to start over It took a week just to get the last plug right. Why did it stick?
Any suggestions so I dont have to repeat this process for a third time? [8D]
Thanks!
