Standard old school mold
NOT GOOD !!
Great thank you! Will try this.GrantL wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2017 1:33 amStandard old school mold
1/Make a plug (dummy wing)
2/Gel coat plug and split center plate. So basically half the wing and yet to be created flanges on split plate .
3/Build up on top of gel coat with chopped mat lamination to thickness of around 6mm.
4/Remove slit plate .
5/Gel coat "new flange" and second half of plug to complete the full female mold.
6/Laminate again on gel coat second side to 6mm.
7/Remove plug and prepare for carbon lamination.
I can give you more detail if interested. I am actually making another stab wing at present, making plug now.mcfly777 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2017 6:02 pmGreat thank you! Will try this.GrantL wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2017 1:33 amStandard old school mold

Here is the first part of the process for making a mold Here is the step-by-step process to build your mold. The most critical part is to make the split plate exactly on the centerline of the wing. This is important otherwise you will loose the profile of the front leading edge.
