Default Largest Piece Or Smallest Piece First When Laying Fiberglass Cloth Over a Tapered Edge?


You mean like using a boat as a male form and the shrink wrap plastic as a
mold release? Boats have been used as male forms before, but I can't say
that I've seen anybody using plastic as a mold release. Generally, the
lay-up needs to be flexible or in more than one part however, else you may
not get it off the form. Mold release or not. Be sure to take pix!

DSK and Brian gave me a weird idea...

Those white plastic shrink-on covers on the new boats..

I wonder if that stuff would be stiff enough to lay-up a glass hull?
Strong back and transom and shrink wrapped hull form?


Might be a cheap way to lay up a hull?
