The plug may be the real thing (such as in this video) or may be sculpted out of foam, constructed with plaster or some other inexpensive way of creating the exact shape or size you want. In any case, the surface of the plug must be free of pinholes and perfectly smooth. • Materials used: • Ordinary automotive-type putty • Filler • Sandpaper • Spray Primer • The Second Step of Molding is Constructing the Parting Board and resting the Plug at the Centerline. • A) Construct the Box • Materials used: • 3 Boards • Nails • Marker • #1016 Parting Wax • Wood Braces • B) Apply the Clay • Materials used: • #104 Kleen Klay • Small Blunt Stick • #13 PVA (Polyvinyl Alcohol) • The Third Step of Molding is to lay up the Mold. • A) Apply the Surface Coat. Surface coats are formulated to be thicker than ordinary resin systems. The use of a surface coat in most applications is optional. The color of the surface coat is also a matter of personal preference. The use of pigment is entirely optional. • Materials used: • #1099-A Epoxy Surface Coat • #43-B Black Pigment • #34-A 1 China Bristle Brushes • #588-A Quart Mixing Set • #591-A Quart Starter Set • B) Apply the Base Resin Coat • Materials used: • #2000 Epoxy Resin • #2060 Epoxy Hardener • #22 Glass Microspheres • Mixing Containers, Sticks and Gloves • Measuring Devise (#1149-A Scale with #1150-A Adapter) • C) Lay up fiberglass • Materials used: • 1 yard of #241 2 oz. fabric • 2 yards of #259 6 oz. fabric • Materials used: • Sharp Knife • D) Release Mold Half From Board • E) Wash the Mold Half From Board • Materials used: • Warm water and/or dish soap if needed. • (NO SOLVENTS!) • F) Lay Up Other Side • All Materials are Duplicated as in the First Half • The Fourth Step of Molding is to Release the Mold from the Plug. • Materials used: • Release Wedges • Sand Paper • The Fifth Step of Molding is to lay up the Part. • Materials used: • #2000 Epoxy Resin #2060 Epoxy Hardener #22 Glass Microspheres • #23 Silica 1 layer #262 4 oz. fabric 1 layer #259 6 oz. fabric • #785 Fastening Clips #792-A Fastening Clip Plier #217 1 Fiberglass Tape • The Sixth Step of Molding is Releasing the Finished Part. • Materials used: #790 Mold Release Wedge Grinding Tools
