Default RE: Scratch Built 1/8 Scale Azure AZ279 Build Thread

Once the mold has cured, the edges are trimmed down to make a clean trim flange, and the the hull plug is popped out. This leaves a perfectly molded hull mold that exactly replicates the full size boat.

You can see the full size lamination department at the original Azure facility in Elkhart, Indiana. Notice that all of the molds are either black tooling gel or orange tooling gel. If you see white in the mold, it is a layer of white gel coat.
