Gel coat and reinforcement lam smashed on during the hottest day of the year so far!!! Gel times 8 minutes, had to go like hell!! Got the mold of the pattern tonight, a bit sticky but all good, it will need a PVA release agent as I am going for a super light carbon epoxy layup 😁🤙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿.

Water based clear coat is on, more sanding now required, starting 800 wet, then 1200 and finally 1500 grit then machine polished with extra fine compound, time on this plug is 27 hrs to this point, huge amount of work creating moulds.
