Sea State 12 foot SUP: deck plug forming

We polished the mold and trimmed the edge of the mold.  But before casting parts we decided to start making the mold for the deck of this SUP.

To do this, we are building up the shape we want in rigid foam and spray foam.  This gets disk sanded to shape.  After we get the shape roughed in, we will cover the foam with glass cloth and epoxy.  We will gradually work the shape into a moldable plug.  Then we will create the mold and will have all we need to begin producing parts.

Here is today's work:

The deck plug being formed inside of the hull mold.
The flange is clearly visible and will provide space to form the deck mold flange.

Tools of the trade.  The pioneers would not be impressed.

A radius edge piece provides a fair line.
