Default Gellpack/Fiberglass Cowl

New way of doing things.
Now used a Wax base on the mastermould to get a glass finish on the Cowl.
Waxed her up three times with Carnauba Wax.


Continued in the usual way,layer of matting,chemicals.



So let it Cure overnight,should pull clean in the morning & SHOULD have a mirror/glass finish to it....?



If not it goes with these lot........lol

I still think that on EBay to the world you would sell quite a few once they are fully sorted to a level where they don't take too long to knock out ..

Exactamundo!!!
Sure id love to be pumping them out,Injection -Moulding style............Oh the Quality

But for now i just keep re-inventing the Wheel,i will get there,no hurrry.
