In this episode I thought it was a good idea to show you the method I use when making 3 piece fiberglass moulds for a set of front fenders.

Be sure to turn subtitles on so you don't miss all the added info.

This episode and the next one will be a little self contained mini series inside this Stagea build. These episodes should give you all the details you need to make most types of fiberglass moulds.

  • Absolutely phenomenal! I've been moulding and casting for years (although in the prop making industry, where quick and dirty is the order of the day) and I have never seen such neat and meticulous work. TOW is a master craftsman. I learn so much from these videos. Much respect!
