Here are a few of the pictures of the Illusion mold. First & second are the waxed fuselage put into a parting board and sprayed with PVA release. Next is the gel coat sprayed. Forth is the first coat of resin on the gel coat and it is about to receive the first layer of cloth.
Thanks Don,
So let me see if I get this process. The parting board is say (2) 1/4 boards and you have some sort of alignment pins. Then you trace the outline of the fuse or part close onto the pinned together boards. Cut out the space for the part. Next use a filler of some sort (The light blue stuff) to hold the part in place. Next gel coat, resin, glass and build it up. Not forgetting the release agent!
Then you separate the (2) parting boards, the original comes out, and you then have your mold correct?
