Progress so far -
The finished bonnet scoop plug was given a dozen coats of release wax, two coats of gelcoat then had three layers of 300gsm csm sandwiching core mat to create the mould.
The mould then got a dozen coats of release wax and a thick coat of gelcoat buffed to a sheen.
Followed by three layers of 300gsm csm
24hrs later, tra-laa!
While it was curing I made a start on another issue that affected a number of Sammios, mine included -
Passenger side 'sill' tucks under the chassis.
...but on the driver's side
Hmm, looks like the lower part of that side of the shell never got properly moulded. Having cut off the lower section it was clear that it was also far from straight.
So, I've now fabricated a proper tuck under for that sill and am in the process of bonding it back into the shell in the right place.
More later.
