Flanging is the most important part of molding.

Briefly this is a two stage mold construction video how to. The plug here is a subwoofer enclosure custom fit to the boot of my car and to any other car of the same model. This video specifically covers flanging. Flanging is a very important part of molding, specially with multiple parts.

One question, where did you get your clay from? I need to get some for a bike fairing

[punk28186]

@DSPPaige Its sold as 'plasticine' in 4KG blocks and is sold by the same fiberglass supplier I get all my stuff from, FGI or Nuplex.

I dont know if you still monitor your youtube, but I like to ask some newbie question.

1. use wax polishing so that resin fiberglass doesn't stick, correct?

2. is it the same step procedure if I use sheet metal, aluminum?

[punk28186]

@KwaiTerk

Yes it will give release for metal as well, just make sure there is nothing for it to grip, like holes, ruff edges, ruff surfaces or unfinished/unground welding

What the differences between using wax and mirror glass wax?....

[AzimNaqvi]

Hi! Liked yr work..Pls help me in joining two horizontal halves of a narrow cylinder or pillar so that the plug can be removed easily..How do I join them from inside where its difficult to reach..

[MrJockoff]

i've got a TS '94 magna, i want to make a fibreglass box for my sub but there is no mouldings out there that i can find, how do i start from scratch, do i make the flexi-glass try to put it in the corner of my boot and put clay on top to get the mould or is there another way? i just have no clue haha

[MirkWoot]

Thanks for this series of videos. Helped me alot in the beginning. Made alot since.. copying a front splitter.. making a huuge 4 part mold of a quarterpanel.. etc. One thing that still troubles me now and then, is sharp corners.

What did you make the plug out of?

[93grech]

Your not ment to brush the resin over the matting thats how you get air bubbles, your ment to dab the resin onto the the matting.
