I notice that since this is a solid and rather linear cast, I am curious if it is difficult to remove from the mold, and if the fiberglass cast is rather heavy?

How do you poor into this beast is my first question, my second question, what are you going to poor? Resin, fiberglass etc.

I've made gun foam and fibreglass versions from this. With foam you mix it first, pour it into each side then slam it shut and clamp it. With fibregalss, it's just a case of laying up each side nice and neat then mixing a chop-strand paste and covering the seam on both sides, then same thing, slam it and clamp it. It leaves a bit of a seam to trim but not too much.

Thanks for the response, that makes a lot of sense. You do good work, and I like seeing and hearing about your approach

It's a monster, I can't move it by myself, so far it's nearly put my back out and trapped a finger.

This is an amazing way to mold, never seen it before but it looks flawless.
