Great write up, but just wanted to add my 2 cents (of course)

Here's an old tip - instead of using 'mold fabric', for a good thick molding fabric, fleece backed sweatshirt material works great, is about 1/3 the cost, and results in a thicker 'first pour'.

 

kudos on the great box

 

Very nice write up! KUDOS

 

Molding fabic = fleece Its the same thing. I buy it from Select Products, Joanne fabrics, Walmart has it once in a while.

A good molding fabric can be pulled in both directions not just one. That's why I use the term molding fabric. Heck you can use trunk liner but if the shape is weird you'll never get it to form to that shape.

 

how did you design the size of the port?

it didn't look like a random piece of flexible tubing.

also, what exactly is that cylinder that sticks up? What is it for?

Thanks

Tim
