Molding

ok, I was sitting here contempalting some stuff and got to thinking about it and was wondering... What can you make a mold out of? I know how to make molds of crap by using tape and blah blah, the stuff every fiberglass person should know. But say I want to make a mold of some odd shape or an add on shape? I think there's like a foam or something I can use isn't there? Someone point me out a link or some info, por favor! Thankz"Shiny chrome when used in conjunction with bikini models is particularly effective in inducing brain deficit disorder"

are you reffering to the foam that you carve out to make the shape and then glass over?

yeah, I think I've seen it on some of those shows like monster garage etc but I cant find anything with my searches."Shiny chrome when used in conjunction with bikini models is particularly effective in inducing brain deficit disorder"

you can use paper machee( i think that's how you spell it) and make a mold of anything and then fill it with fiberglass to have a perfect copy.  paper machee being wet newspaper and let it dry.  it won't be extremly strong but you can fiberglass it.what!?!?! you want some??

i just recently used a spare tire shaped punch bowl in the bottom of a tire well enclosure to retain the spare tire (just in case)  Just threw it in, taped it, and started layin..... nice trick

the stuff is polyurethane foam, you can find it probably at your local marina, if not look online at some of the fiberglass boat repair and building material wholesalers

it's a high density poly foam. I've used it before and the stuff works great!!! only problem is with it is price. A 4 X 8, 1 inch thick sheet of it runns around 400 bucks. if its jammed force it - if it breaks in the process it needed to be fixed anyway

400 bucks???? ok.... well, unfortunately I'm a poor southern white kid, so thats out of the question lol. I guess I'll just try to make a mold out of what ever and then just mask over it with tape and such then mold that. Thanks for all the replys and helpful info guyz"Shiny chrome when used in conjunction with bikini models is particularly effective in inducing brain deficit disorder"
