Building the Mold

The team has been busy building the fiberglass mold for the lower body. We began by applying a few thin layers of a surface resin. Once a base layer was created, sheets of fine fiberglass were laid down and worked into the resin. By Monday, the first layer of fiberglass was fulled cured. Tonight, we continued the work by applying a heavier layer of fiberglass. This layer, and the one that will soon follow it, will give the mold added strength. Both lay-up sessions took many hours but luckily many people were willing to help with the work. A huge thanks to all the team members that helped in building this mold! This project couldn't be completed without their help!
