Side gutters with top molds in the bag
U can see how i bent the hard corners. These are part of a gutter an hatch rim landing seal and will get extra pieces tacked on the side and fillets and more glass
Some bulkheads are filleted and taped to hold the shape.
Some plywood i thought was marine grade but has voids.
I experimented with some tounge joints for hatch lid trim but didnt like the wood i had, so i decided to go all glass with the hatch lids.
Deck plates in the bag
Foam in the bag to make pieces for gluing coamings
Hatches and coaming mocked up in place
Mold for the big hatch lid. Melamine with 2x4 edges to define the bottom of the hatch lid and rim. Covered in packing tape.
Molds need filleted edges to release cleanly so i tried playdough
It actually came out good. So good i could see imprints from my fingerprints in the finished fillet. However the playdough is hard to spread and move Due to its consistency. I better better playdough would work better than my doller store stuff, but i went and found some oil based modeling clay at the center for the arts. This stuff smears nice and makes nice tight fillets.
