[Fot] need some fiberglass help - OT

No, no need to talk to your attorney...
I was contacted by a firm who knows I fool around with cars, some even made of fiberglass. They want to know about what is involved in making the plugs to make molds for fiberglass construction. I admit to workin with glass but have never made a plug or a mold in my life, so could not help them. I said I would inquire of any possible cohorts who might be able to talk them thru the plug/mold process...any takers?

hmmmm, with an attorney?  Do I need to get counsel for myself if I provide any information?


I am an amateur fibreglass guy.  
Maybe you'll have responses from professionals that might help much more than I can.
I Have made a few molds and pulled a few parts out of same.  Both for my race car and much smaller/thinner parts for my model airplane hobby.  It's not magic but is labor intensive and you can expect to do a lot of scratching due to the shards that stick into your skin.  Doesnt seem to matter much even if I wear a long sleeve shirt.


That said, there are any number of good books on the topic.  Many years ago I got a handful of flyers from
http://www.fibreglast.com/category/Books_Videos
A quick look shows that they no longer have the little flyers I got.  But still, they are in the biz.


So, the ball is in your court, ask a question and I'll do my best.

OK Guys...this is a bit off topic...
I need someone who is more than conversant with fiberglass construction, especially the construction and use of molds for fiberglass production. This can be for cars, boats, planes or whatever. If you have some experience/knowledge in this area, can explain it to someone who has no clue and be able to discuss this with an attorney, lemme know.

I love the smell of fiberglass resin in the morning...
