RE: How do I make a plug from this heli canopy?
Ok, I think I have a pretty good idea what to do once I have a mold.............just having a hard time deciding on how to go about making the mold. What can I use to make the parting flange? can I use some thick styrene sheet plastic, or will I need to use something stronger like some sheet aluminium? once I have the parting flange made, do I fill the open part of the plug with clay to keep the mold material from flowing into the back of the plug? What material would be used that would then become the mold? I have seen some threads on here using a plaster type material.....I would like to use something a little more durable as I plan on making a few canopies from this mold if things turn out ok. and thanks for answering some of my basic and mabey stupid.........or basicly stupid questions.
