Fiberglass Question - Please Educate me !

Wed Sep 11 12:35:00 AKDT 2002

Man, you are FAST! 
I just got out of a meeting and wondered if you'd gotten my message, and 
here you had already tried it!

Are you going to build your Entropy this fast?  I recommend waiting for 
the glue to dry before flying.

For what it's worth Lance, the Saran Wrap worked like a CHAMP ! Just 
pulled the first two rings, and they look damn nice, if I do say so. . . . 
.

 Thanks for all the input from everyone.

Van, in after the car wax, apply some PVA.  YOu can buy this at craft 
stores in small quantities near where they sell plaster/molding 
resing/etc.  Michael's and HobbyLobby are in Dallas.  Apply two coats of 
PVA.  From a sprayer if you can.  If you don't have air equip, buy a 
Precor can ($3) or use an old atomizer.  PVA dissolves in water so after 
laying up the parts, you can soak the mold/part in warm water and make it 
easier to remove.  Gray's right on the difficulty here.  YOu wouldn't 
belive the trouble we've had in making our own carbon mufflers.   

Another idea I have, but haven't tried, is to wrap the PVC molding pipe 
with Saran wrap, lay up the part, remove the pipe and then peel off the 
Saran wrap from the inside.  THis would be very easy.
