[QUOTE="Mram10us, post: 2028269, member: 111667"] Just getting started building a CF stock that will resemble my manners eh1. Here is how far I have gotten tonight. Next step is filling the stock with modeling clay so there are no spots to mechanically lock. Lots of wax coats on the stock after that with some good mold release for good measure. I'm using epoxy resin because i want to use this mold many times not just once. Can't find any other mold materials that will be this durable for the price. Here is the stock in the mold casing. The sides are 1" which is half the width of the stock. The plywood inside the form is 3/4" to take up space. I dont need it all to be epoxy resin, just the part close to the stock. When the time comes, a couple drops of hot glue will hold the stock in place, at the correct height using shims, before pouring in the resin [ATTACH type="full"]227069[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]227070[/ATTACH] At this angle, you can see the height difference. The resin will fill the stock cavity and overflow onto the 3/4" plywood while staying inside the 1" sides. [ATTACH type="full"]227071[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
