The planing Surface.



The mould for the planing surface was made from a plywood frame with a hardboard surface and was in a very sorry state. After several attempts at restoring it I decided to make it good enough to get one part out of it and make a new mould from that.

The mould above has been filled with pounds of car body filler, painted and waxed.
Next the various layers of Chopped Strand Matting (CSM), Diolen and Kevlar are are cut/torn and layed out on a ground sheet until I was ready for them.

The finished part was popped out of the mould after a few days...

But took an amount of mould with it.
