SUP plug ready for molding

After months of shaping, sanding, refairing etc...
The plug is real to mold.
Tomorrow the weather looks like it will cooperate so we shall see.
Once we were happy with its shape, a last coat of gelcoat was sprayed on and we worked up through the grits to a wet sanded 2000 grit.
It then got the buffing compound and cleaning.
In the past I have only used wax and then PVA (polyvinyl acetate).
It has always worked well but the PVA can leave artifacts.
This time I am going to try Chemlease after applying Chemsealer.
They come recommended.
Photos of the molding will follow soon.
