Wait no longer.. I couldn't either lol
I was going to wait till the weekend.. But I couldnt stand it. No worries at all. The molds were rock solid! I couldn't believe the strength they have. I read that removing the plug is actually a very violent thing and they where not kidding! Here you have the plug that you so tenderly handled making sure not to get so much as a scratch and then your smashing it down on the concrete floor LOL
It took sometime as expected.. but they did come out and Im VERY Pleased with the molds. There not perfect for my first attempt.. but nothing that cant be fixed with some 600-1000grit paper. Ill give them a 8 out of 10.
I learned a lot from these first molds and Im glad I did the small ones first, all be it.. they where actually pretty complicated due to the sharp edges and being somewhat small parts that make it hard to remove from the mold.
On thing I didnt like before doing the mold was that the guy at the comp store insisted that 6 oz would lay down with no problem. It probably would in most cases... but for this mold I really wish I had of listened to my self and gone with 3 layers of 4 oz instead of 2 of 6 oz. For 3-4-3 instead of 2-4-2
Something else I learned.. When I attached the plugs to the parting board, I used a hot glue gun. It worked great but I used 3 globs of glue then pressed the plug down. This is not a good method as the glue cools real fast and it kept the plug about 1/2mm above the board which allowed/required more modelling clay to be pushed under the edge. If you dont get that just perfect (as I did not) then you get a rap-around effect with the resin and that will make it much more challenging to remove the plug.
In the end.. I am very pleased with the turn out and I dont think I will be able to hold off finishing all the other molds before I do and actual layup with the wing tip molds
