Would you, could you please explain in detail just how you get your split plate perfectly aligned with plug center PLEASE!
I have been semi happy with the few molds I have made but always find L E and more importantly T E to not be as clean as I would like.
As you have so kindly done above, photos and your technique would sure be great as I am just now wanting another F wing and R wing soon as winter project.

Sorry for the confusion, but the colloquial term "bog" is automotive body filler. I understand you have a wing (French) "F wing" you want to copy.?revhed wrote: ↑Fri Sep 08, 2017 7:49 amThanx for your quick reply.
I want to reproduce a wing that I already made by painstakenly shaping the bottom as my male mold has a flat cord top.
I do almost exactly inverse as your plug build by using external thin plastic profile templates to shape layed up parts, to much work!
I am quite sure that I have used up WAY to much time and elbow grease doing this both on several wings and STRUTS.
SO, as I do not have your plug matrix as you so kindly described above, how you you proceed making a mold with a F wing that has already been flown all summer and is well liked what is what you call "bog" did a quick search and found nothing?
Thanks, R H
