I´ve been working hard on my flare moulds last week.
Flares sanded 400 grit prior in preparation for the moulding.
I laminated the moulds last saturday. Couldn´t take any pictures because it was so much work. 10 layers had to be cut an laid on.
1. epoxy gelcoat powdered with aluminum powder , cured over night
2. next day first layer 160g Küpperwoofen glass
3. 2nd layer 220g küpperwoofen glass
4. 3rd and 4 th layer 400g biaxed glass
5. 5 th layer coremate
6. 6th and 7th layer 400g biaxed ( reversed direction vs layer 1 to 4 to avoid warping of th mould)
7. 8th layer 220g küpperwoofen glass
8. 9th layer 160 küpperwoofen glass
9. 2 days curing and tempering ( due to the use of epoxy resin)
10. yesterday: forming out and reinforcement against warping
reinforced mould on the car
moulds from the inside
Moulds for rocker panel extensions
brought the moulds to my " glass guru" and he will form some nice parts out of them.
