New thread,

Constructing my recessed bucket seat.
I borrowed the following from another thread, that wasn't relevant to my task of "lowering my ass in the chair"

Funny!

So I got the mold from the plug this morning.
First time I tried vacuum bagging.

Trouble was, even though I waxed the heck out of it and sprayed mold release. I had to wrestle to get the plug out.!

I needed to glue pieces of foam together to build up the size of the plug. The resin got in the crack (crevices)

It was a pain in the ass :eek:
I think I'll start a new thread...this aint canopy ! It's too low!!


This picture is the same as the one I included in the canopy thread.
Later I will send a picture of the mold I made from this carved hard foam plug.

Man' I hope this works out! :D If it doesn't = well' I gained from the experience at least.
