Thread: building a T-bucket starting with building the glass body

Tweet

here are the parts for the body. I also have the bed and a grill shell.

The molds have been in a crate for over a year. I took them out and washed them off. What I found was not bad. There is some resin that had to be removed. There are some cracks and air bubbles in the gel coat. Not too bad. just time to get it fixed.

When I got it assembled there are a few pieces that don't line up great. I am going to rework these area. mostly I am going to pull the bolts out realign it and drill new holes.

There are several places that the last guy to pull did not use enough mold release and broke the mold corners off. I am going to get some fiberglass body filler and build the areas back up.

I am going to then re-gel coat the areas that need it.

I have made resin objects before and some some fiberglassing, I have done lots of mold work so I think I am ok.

I was going to use two layers of mat covered by a layer of cloth. What do you think, will this be enough?

It is mothers day weekend so I didn't get much done.
