Hey Steve, got a question for ya.......I'm makeing a small plug for a stereo project for a buddy and am thinking about possibly making a few of these items.....the plug right now is a mix of wood and the pink insulation foam. What would you cover this with to get a nice smooth finish to make a mold off it??? Would you cover with glass? I was hopeing for something to maybe spray it with with minimal finish work...any thoughts? Thanks

As long as some questions are being thrown out....

What is the wavy material on the engine room battery shelf/step/floor?

Thanks!

Yes we gelcoated those seperate on the floor and then brushed gelcoat across the joints when we assembled it,before glassing into a unit ,there was some wet sanding on the seams when we pulled it a small nub ,they looked real good and it took a Truck windshield so eventually I could add wipers and a wash system.

Be careful of the styrofoam, you are forced to use epoxy over it to be safe ,that precludes the cheap fairing materials,Even in Duratec you must use the Vinylester based material for finishing. If you could swap that out for a urethane foam, then a layer of Glass and body fillers ,long boarded then covered with like a 707 Duratec and sand until you see your face.
