[QUOTE="kiwi3006, post: 404120, member: 8927"] Thanks for the comments guys. 300R, it has taken me just over a year of thinking before I finally got around to it. I hate to think how many beers that was. Yes I am thinking of selling a few as a part time business. Costs are all in $NZ dollars, $180 for resin and the fillers, $6 a metre for the cloth, $24 for mold release wax( I have enough to do a hundred or more stocks) $2 a paint brush i have gone through 13 so far, $24 for a roller, $28 for silicone sealant, $77 for the paint (enough to do about 20 stocks). I mix the resin in plastic cups with ice block sticks. Total $419. But like I said I have enough resin to make two more so that works out at $139 a stock plus labour. I will post some pics of the mold tonight when I get home. I kept the end of the butt open and the action/forearm area so that I could get access to stick the two halves together. Getting into the pistol grip area was tricky, I had to bend some fencing wire just right to stick the cloth down:D. Stu. [/QUOTE]
