It seems that the channel Rammy RC has the mold making process down to a science, he makes scale models of planes. I think I would have made the molds of the sides separate and then joined them together after they were solid pieces so that you had the ease of getting all up in that crevice. You know She is us going to want the strongest part to be right in the middle there. I can't wait to see what you will make once you get this process down. I can also imagine some kind of collaboration between you and the Rammy RC channel! Edit: on wait you already decided to do the halves separately!

Professional sailor and boat builder here: if you dont have a hvlp spray gun use a preval sprayer. You can get them for 5 or so dollars at the Homeless Despot. Use acetone to thin out your gelcoat till it sprays smoothly. That should help with the brush marks on your tooling gelcoat. Once you have the gelcoat on your mold sanded and polished smooth, use the same wax and mold release method as you do in this video. Then use the preval sprayer to shoot in laminating gelcoat (dont use finishing gelcoat, it has wax in it so it's no good to bond with the fiberglass and epoxy) covering the mold. Once the lqminating gelcoat cures in the mold you can then proceed to lay up the fiberglass as you did in this video. Essentially you are building the boat in layers from outside to in. The result will be that you only have to spend time getting your molds to a perfect finish, then you can pop out as many parts as you want with minimal finishing work to be done. To solve your structural issues you can add a bilkhead or two and a spine made from balsa (or other wood). Then tab them in with fiberglass and epoxy. The result will be a boat that will be very stiff and strong. If you have questions philiptothsailing@yahoo.com

As custom boat builder myself (Bonadeo Boat Works) I would recommend thinning Gelcoat with MEK solvent. Acetone will work but it will effect how it cures so if you do go the acetone route be sure to catalyze at no less then 2% MEKP. Also for your use you could just hand lay your hull in a polyvinyl or vinylester resin they are both much cheaper but it does take a little bit of skill set to hand lay without getting air bubbles.

I also look at my watch at 8 AM and I say: Today is going to be productive, glue a servo, glue another and look again, and the clock says it's 3 PM. I can relate to that.

Lesson - use near solid infill and many perimeters if thinking about vacuumable 3D printed moulds and just pull as hard a vacuum as you need. See "Ramy RC" channel to watch how he uses 3D printed moulds to make really large fuselages for model airliners.

Very cool! Epoxy mixed with microballs gives you a nice lightweight putty.

RamyRc uses this same 3d printed fiberglass molding technique. He uses a spray can primer directly over the PLA molds and amazingly he gets great results. He builds awesome RC jetliners that are beautiful.

@MartinRunesson

Yeah, Ramy has become really skilled. Spend a few hours to learn of his mistakes and your build will be much easier.

One way to get an existing model or fresh piece stiffer for cheap, would be to put in glass rovings. they are fairly cheap and will act as frames and stringers.

Nice work! the next time you have to fill something that has to be strong enough and is lightweight but also good to sand, mix some microballoons into your epoxy and create a paste which is aproximately the same consistency as shaving cream!

^ aircraft tips!

Excellent job with that 3-D print that’s amazing I’m currently working on a catamaran myself don’t be afraid to use the shredded fiberglass it lays in all different directions easily and doesn’t typically fold up like the weave will and it takes less layers of it to build up strength. The smartest thing I ever did was start using rollers roll on the first layer of Apoxsee slap on the fiberglass which wetsuit out quicker and then do a quick roll it’s about two times faster and it helps you ensure that your resin doesn’t set up too fast and it doesn’t trap and air bubbles

Great video still to this day the most inspiring channel on KZread. Keep this stuff rolling!

I love these videos because it's something I like but don't have the time. Nice one as usual. Thank you.

I love your boat projects! The Banana Slug actually inspired me to build an autonomous boat of my own over this winter.

Bravo bravo! As someone with lots of boat building and fiberglass experience, I must say how impressed I am with what you accomplished! You only had a few hiccups but like always you were able to overcome. There is a product called glass microballoons. When added to epoxy it makes the perfect filler. It's strong, flexible and much easier to sand. If you do something like this again only do two layers of woven at most. Then do the rest with fiberglass chopped strand mat. The woven helps the hull from cracking and the chopped strand gives it rigidity. An integrated stringer system would also make a difference.

Ayyy bro this new chapter of rctestflight is something special. that song at the end is just vibin. gotta be your new theme song or something. Such good videos man ! that amazon drone one was hilarious and at the same time made me want to fix my drone and get playing around again. Much love Daniel .

Nice work mate. I highly suggest picking up a respirator for when you are sanding, especially fiberglass. Breathing dust and fumes is seriously bad for your health. Cheers!

Such a rollercoaster of emotions!

excellent! very entertaining and I cant wait to see the progress

Just some suggestions on your molds as a composites technician. Good job with the jel coat! It can definitely be brushed and sanded. However, make sure to do a light coat and wait for it to go to b stage where your finger print doesn't show when touched. Then apply a 2nd thicker coat this stops aligatoring or cracking. Instead of spackle use resin mixed with cabosil to sand. For the bagging apply breather material so the vaccum pulls and apply the tape to the bag for easier alignment. Really good for your first go!

Man you are dedicated. Looks great. Can’t wait to see how it turns out!

Nice mold RC. Thanks

Can't wait to see it in operation. Great video.

Whohoo! Your builds are a breath of fresh air

The next time you use PVA apply it with paper towel, it is easy to do. As far as the bag, use a big enough bag to fit entire mould into. Pre tape bag leaving one end open with tape on but paper over tape, insert mould, then pull paper and seal. Put bleeder cloth over peel-ply. Once you master the trade, think about infusing these parts, all cloth layers go on dry, giving you hours to perfect, do not use spray glue to hold dry glass. I used very small bits of masking tape, then under vacuum add the Epoxy resin.

Your music is THE BEST!

Little tip, you can spray the pva from the hand spray bottle if you add a small amount (a few drops) of dish washing soap (e.g. fairy) to it.

Pretty sweet..at the very least this one is gonna be around a LONG time!!! Keep em coming!!!!

'Banana Slug'. That's great! I'm watching your video, at the moment. If I could make a suggestion... Create reinforcement pieces made of various types of wood or carbon fiber 'blocks'. To avoid having to modify the reinforcements have them machined beforehand. For instance, the lowest point of the keel where a propeller shaft will exit. Create a block of wood, (don't recall the best type, but it's not balsa. Oak? Cedar is a good choice.), with an opening for the shaft. Give yourself some extra tolerance in regards to the position of the hole. To make it easier to line up properly, modify the mold from the beginning to accept this block. As I'm watching you put the v. bag in and I believe that you could make things easier if the most difficult part, the keel area, was pre-made. When I was younger my dad and his buddies built their own boats to work the waters. These weren't a bunch of layers of plywood and 2x4s. The most difficult part is the front piece that ties the whole frame together. It had to be chiseled out by hand, usually oak, to accept the keel and side reinforcements. A single piece keel that can be placed inside of the mold as you're going along, it would eliminate any issues with the space between the molds. Epoxy the reinforcements into place after laying in fiberglass mat, similar to what you're already doing. I would suggest learning more about boat design before getting started. I have no doubt that if you watched a few KZread videos you would do great! I've used this technique while building radio controlled airplanes as a reinforcement for the center wing spar section. I tend to fly 'aggressively' and I have snapped my wings in half. Sounded similar to a gun shot. I have been putting materials together to create a project or 2. One goal is a autonomous airplane is one. If there is enough cell coverage, would that allow me to utilize it to maintain contact with, and control of the airplane? I do own a 7-channel transmitter for visual control of the plane, but couldn't most of the control be accomplished via cell? Of course there has to be coverage. I am watching an other of your videos and you mentioned criticism of boat design. Lol. I hope that you don't think that I'm simply criticizing you. I was offering a suggestion to make your jib easier. I would rather work aircraft than boats, too. My humble opinion is that if knowledge and wisdom should be accepted when shared. But that doesn't mean that you do what has been shared, rather I put it into the 9 million other ideas that are constantly roaming around my head. If you're able produce these projects, which require knowledge of the various subject matter involved, and they actually work, that's awesome! You created a gps guided vehicle from foam and Tupperware, that has been proven to work. Boats can be difficult because if they sink, your electronics are either lost in the depths or simply ruined by the water. I have nose dived rc airplanes into the ground at full speed, but I recovered the electronics and re-flew the airplanes. The electronic gear is expensive. I've gone around the world in this comment due to commenting as I watch more than one video while typing. And ADD.

The idea of leaving it in the sun is pretty awesome! The texture looks cool.

I think we're going to need a pt.2 of this video!

I was working in a prop shop in highschool and put more gallons of Bondo down than I care to remember... But one trick is to spread it out pretty thick, then use a cheese grater (rasp?) to grate the surface down BEFORE it's fully cured. Basically it goes into a sort of rubbery state before hardening, then you grate the majority off, and the rest can be sanded when hard... Hope it helps, you know for the next boat ;) I think you can get the rasps at Harbor Freight, but if not, a body shop supplier will definitely have them. Awesome video! Can't wait to see the next one!

This look awesome, i am looking forward to future missions with it.!

Nice work

In marine hull construction we have these things called 'stringers'. They are lightweight pieces of balsa or other wood used as supports across the inside of the hull so you dont have a big, thick, crappy, heavy, weak, fiberglass hull.

Great video!

Awesome job! The hulls definitely turned out pretty good. A few things you could try next time: I’ve always had good luck wetting the glass before putting it into the mold. For spreading the vacuum try using bubble wrap, the spaces between spread pretty effectively and it doesn’t stick to epoxy.

This is such an interesting project!

Great job dood
