I would like to make a plug from my new heli canopy. this canopy is made from bleach bottle plastic. I have never done this before and am not sure what material to use to make a mold and cast a new plug to eventually make a fiberglass canopy. since the canopy is flexible, do I need to fill the canopy with something to keep it stiff,especially at the rear of the canopy? if so what could I use?
I assume the mold would be a 2 peice silicone mold with the parting line down the center leaving the back open?
Once the mold is made, What material would be used to make the plug from ?
Can this be done without destroying the original canopy?
I have been reading alot on this forum about materials and techniques but I am not sure how to make a plug from an existing molded item.
Thanks for any help.
