Today I gathered some courage to turn the mold by myself, hoping it wouldn't crack.............And It did not







It looked great and smooth. However, my eye picked up some imperfections that I need to address. Remember, my hood wasn't perfect to begin with, so I knew I was going to do some fixing to the mold. And the fun begins:............Wetsanding



The "abandon ship" incident left me a nice small hump to deal with...




4 HOURS LATER





Next will be a guide coat and some filler
PS: I'm determined to produce a professional looking hood. Thus, I'm really taking my time on this project, and hoping for your patience lol

Yup, I plan on vacuum bagging. I'm also building my own vacuum pump, not buying a loud 400 dollar pump.

Awesome work, Now I know why hoods cost 600$

Make sure your neighbors don't think your making a bomb or Chrystal Meth lol.
