The second half of the fiberglass mother mold is applied to the base. Black die is added to the fiberglass to make it easier to see where it has been placed and insure proper coverage - as fiberglass resin is otherwise translucent amber in color.
A shot showing one-half of the mother mold complete, and the other half ready for more layers.
The mother mold is completed and registration holes added along the joint. These are in place to allow the two halves to be locked together with bolts and nuts, so the shell lines up exactly and stays in place around the rubber mold it cradles. The base will be revisited later in this demonstration.
