Trim and Polish...

That sounds easy...trim and polish...
What that really means...is mark the flange of the mold with a scribe...and cut the flange to the required width, with an angle grinder...that's easy...

Then start to rub out any lumps and bumps with abrasive paper...when that was completed, after a few days...any crevices had to be filled with gel-coat...taped over and left to dry...then rub them down again...and when you think they are smooth enough, change to a smoother grade paper and...rub them down again ...and again...and again...gradually going through 240 wet and dry...400...800...and finally 1200...I've really gone off rubbing down by now...

With all the blemishes removed...and all the rubbing down now completed...you must say ''that is it''......it is......it's done....no more rubbing down..!
Only one more thing...the now dull surface of the mold, needed to be compounded up, to give it a good shine...


We are ready to go again...........Let's start at the very beginning....10 coats of wax...
