Just decided to make a keel also before making the moulds. Than every hull will be complete with keel.

amateur Posted October 5, 2015 #32 Posted October 5, 2015 Aren't you at the point of "overdetailing" your plug? The ditance betrween those stripes is so small, i wonder whether you will get a nice mould/hull out of that without a lot of problems of not fully filled details after pouring your hull.

SailorGreg Posted October 5, 2015 #33 Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) Aren't you at the point of "overdetailing" your plug? The ditance betrween those stripes is so small, i wonder whether you will get a nice mould/hull out of that without a lot of problems of not fully filled details after pouring your hull. Jan I agree. I am sorry to sound negative, but you are putting a lot of effort into the plug and it would be a shame to spoil it all because you either lose the detail in the mould or you find you cannot separate the mould from the plug. Remember the mould will be a hard shell, not a flexible shape. It must pull free from all the details in a single rigid piece. If there are details that trap the mould on the plug you will damage either the mould or the plug pulling them apart. Damaging the plug probably doesn't matter if the mould is good - but you will then have the same problem when you try and take a hull from the mould. It makes no difference that the mould is in two halves if there is an "undercut" in the details that will trap or damage the moulding. At the very least use lots of release wax!

When one builds form scratch one hase to make choices and take risks. I have watched orther people building moulds and after carefully considering all the pro's and con's I dicided to do it the way I do now. I have good faith that it will work but it is exciting for me too. I hope you enioy my buid and support me in my efforts to build this ship.

kees de mol Posted December 2, 2015 Author #39 Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) More work done on the KW88. Prepare the moulds for laminating. It will be a two part mould. First I will prepare and laminate the first half and after that I will remove the wooden plate and laminate the second half. I have never done this before so it will be exciting. It will take some weeks before I can show the results.

Piet Posted December 3, 2015 #41 Posted December 3, 2015 Ah yes, I see what your plan is Cees. I figured already that the two half mold method is the only way to be able to separate the molds from this quite busy plug. Good thinking Cees and I'm sure it'll work.
