-Hi,
I'm with jim with wanting to know more about what type of moulds and
from what materials. I still really like the idea of plantation grown
low rot, low alergenic, light timber as a core. I think it looks
pretty amazing if left unpainted internally and it always seems a
pity to end up painting the outside to protect the resin.
I must admit that vertical foam strips on a female mould look pretty
good as a method and avoiding fairing would be a wonderful.
Do you propose using a well faired boat as a plug to make a female
mould. I will probably be building an extended Harry, so people will
be welcome to use it as a plug if deemed fair enough - especially if
they help me fair it- providing, of course, they have bought their
plans. I don't know how many boats would need to be built before it
pays its way, especiall as the hull building seems such a small part
of the time building.
