RE: How about a how-to on plugs?
Chuck...from what I could tell wood plugs seemed to be the all around favorite for small to medium runs. I also read where plugs were made from plaster paris. I think what I will do is build a center rib the shape of the canopy outline looking at it from the side, glue it in the center of the canopy section and use styrofoam block glued in on each side of the balsa templete. Next sand the foam down to the shape needed the glass over it with 2 oz. cloth and finish resin. Get it as smooth possiblethen remove it from the fuse. Next I will build a 1/2" base for it to sit on the vacuum table. From what I have read making canopies and cowls is very easy ...I plan to build my set up this weekend...I have an old speaker box that is perfect.
