After the foam plug was shaped and glassed, it was time to build up the edge (and ignore the work staked in my doorway) ...Bondo was my choice to build it up. Bondo is just Polyester resin (Good old surfboard resin) mixed with cheap filler. It's great stuff if you want to make a mod to a board, it goes on quick, builds well and drys fast. I drew a couple guide lines to get things started...
Mmmmm Bondo!
Probably about a gallon of the stuff went on the bottom... heavy
Lot's of filing with the old surforms
And lots and lots of sanding
This red stuff is sort of a thick primer that fills in all the nicks and scratches that you can't get out with the Bondo
Here's the finished product ready to get painted. Did I mention this is only the plug for a mould? Crazy amount of work
Yep... all painted. Pretty awesome. Looks like a UFO. Next part of the series will cover making the mould. Check back- Carl
