Reply to "Air Cleaner housing for my Spyder"

The "AIR GOBBLER" head is out of my mould today. It took 9 layers of glass and resin to get the wall thickness up to 3/16" to 1/4". The Mould cracked open perfectly and out came the green head. Now I will start on the hands, face, and tongue. make them in clay then use them as the pattern in a poured rubber mould, then cast the final ones in the rubber mould supported by a crude fiberglass fixture. The mould for the head was only finished to 1000 grit finish. This way the green gelcoat has a satin finish out of the mould the way I wanted it. I needed to wax the mould 5 times to fill in the pores so the gelcoat didn't stick to the mould on release. You can actually see the 1000 grit scratches filling up with a 20 power pocket microscope !..........Bruce
