#91536, "Molding"


          

I was wondering if anyone could guide me to a tutorial on how to mold.

I plan on doing my side skirts and rear bumper, and I would like to learn how.

I did this to my car. Use fiberglass to connect your skirts to the panels. sand it down, spread bondo over it, and start sanding away. The fiberglass acts as a "mold" to connect the 2 pieces together. Depending on where and what you are molding, sometimes all you need is bondo to cover the body and kit lines. Sorry no details, I'm at work, short on time..

What he said, But screw them in first to get a nice close fit, cover everything except the screws so you can remove them when it starts to hold, then add material where the screws were and sand away.

when youre using the fiberglass do you need to take the paint off so the part is adhered to the metal?

I just wish my car was as fast as it was loud. people tell me i should use my sub to push it, it might go faster.

yes you do need to remove the paint before fiberglass goes on.. otherwise, any pressure to the f-glass will just crack it apart and take the paint w/ it.. Actually, I carve a row/column design with my dremel in the object i plan to fiberglass, that way I can KNOW its going to adhere to the surface well.

Nobody mentioned autobody adhesive. This is the best bond along with screws. What you want to achive is to get the part on so it does not move after you put filler on it. This is why peoples body work cracks in most cases. Do not use a product called fusor it doesn't work with polyester resins in fillers it will bubble your paint. 3M makes a bonding adhesive that works great and is filler friendly. I could get really in depth with this but if you are serious and wont to do this PM me and I will walk you through it. I've done lots of molding and my bonds are beyond strong, I actually abuse my work just to see how strong it is and I never had a problem.
