Mold Making:

Building the Glass Master

Page 16 of 17
 

A glass master will reproduce molds that need little or no work to the surface. The object is to de-mold from the glass master a mold that requires no sanding to the surface whatsoever. A glass master is not required where one or two molds are needed. If the condition of the plug remains stable during the producing of the first mold, continue to build molds from this plug. Check for stability of the plug after each mold is produced.

Use the procedures for tooling gelcoat. Build the master as you would a lightly laminated mold. Make the surface of the master as perfect as possible to enhance every mold produced off the master.
