    Just to maybe give a recommendation for a couple of things on the moulds...

    If you are planning on vacuum bagging it is quite helpful to extend a lip all the way around the outside of the part so the mould has a place for the vacuum bag to fasten to. Also, if it were me, I would build up the mould quite a bit with layers of FG and maybe even some ribbing to make sure the shape stays correct when making parts from the moulds.

    Did you use gel coat before laying down the FG or just straight FG onto the plug?

    Great to see your progress. Thanks for sharing.
