I am also looking forward to this as a new owner of a Demonseed 44

Nearly done the 4x4, demonseed will happen soon!

The mold is done, it just needs a little bit of touching up

@b264 @RyEnd there are heaps of bubbles in this mold

I’ll be investing in a vac setup very soon, so my plan is this;

make an enclosure from this mold
throw this mold in the bin
tidy up the enclosure
make a new mold from tidy enclosure.
get vac infusion setup
no more bubbles

Do you have a photo? How bad is it? I wouldn’t pitch the mold in the bin yet until there exists a new mold

These bubbles are super unfun to try and fix. And the mold is compromised… even if I do manage to repair them, past experience tells me that the repair won’t last.

Gonna be much easier to use this as is and follow the plan above.

So I ended up fixing the bubbles a little bit but I doubt the repairs will last this pull. Gelcoat on, gotta cut some glass now and then lay her up!

Trying for a finished enclosure straight out of the mold so made a nice thick gelcoat with more pigment than I usually use. Will probably add pigment to the layup epoxy too just in case.

Should have my demonseed enclosure in the morning!
