Fiberglass Question - Please Educate me !

[Van - E-Mail LIST]

Lance,

I will wait for the glue to dry . . . but not too dry!  I already have a bench ready for her arrival. It should not take too long to get her in the air !

  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.
