Default RE: A few newbie type questions

Thanks Ed,

I was puzzling over what to try first, be it a hobby related item or not. I was eyeing my recycling bin in the house for a good candidate. I have a set of wheel pants for my 1/4 scale Skymaster. They are large, but maybe that's what I need to help me get some good practice. I even thought of using a Dubro fuel tank as a victim, errr I mean candidiate.

By the way, here's what I picked up over the weekend from a local West Marine dealer. I couldn't find "Tooling Resin" only their "105, General Purpose Resin". I picked up some gel coat too. If I remember correctly from past posts, the gel coat is for use when doing the layups for a finished product. It is not for use when making the mold, as a type of Tooling Resin. Is that correct?

Thanks in advance,

-Jorden

Dangit! Forgot the PVA! Hopefully the local auto parts store will have some, as the West Marine is a 40 minute round trip. Although, I have read some good things about using hair spray instead of PVA. Any thoughts?
