Re: Bob's Retirement Build - My '55 TF
Quote:
most of my glass was done in place over cardboard with tape and paste wax or free form using a space frame and cloth the plastic may pucker (look at 3rd pic down) and/or dissolve when the resin is applied the easiest way is to cover everything with masking tape, smooth the tape as well as you can then use pva mold release (expensive and only available in specialty stores) or do and ogre and just use paste wax, use a couple coats of wax and the pattern should release if you can get an edge to come up, shoot some compressed air under the pattern to finish the job you'll need 4 or 5 layers of 3/4oz mat to keep an area that large from warping or breaking i used many rolls of waxed tape on truk when doing the glass when i made the tonneau cover i tried taping waxed foil to a wooden form this is what i ended up with, it took a lot to make it paint ready here's the cardboard and waxed tape buck i made for the radiator cover
