How A Hull Mold Is Built

[@glengullickson6538]

I am building a fiberglass, 1:8 scale Columbia River Gillnetter model and this video has been my bible-thank you! I have just positioned all my stations so I have a long way to go (doing this piece by piece on my social security!😊), but this video gives me hope! Blessings!

[@drfiberglass]

I use to be a plug/mold builder and it is a lot of work. sand sand sand wax wax and wax some more..... I think after spraying it 3 times with gray durtec I would give it a clear coat then wax maybe 3 times and then PVA for a mold release....

[@ericsexton6799]

Me too!!

[@khadardeek7387]

Hello sir.i would like to know if uou are able to help me in mold building of a boat that i want to make plz

[@jonathandavisofkorn6919]

Ditto, this is old school for sure. Glad I got to learn this method in the beginning years of my marine career. Then 5 axis took off, then outsourcing of tooling etc.... Glad I got to "Learn" this before it died.....

[@markvittorini5163]

Always wondered how this was done! Y'all do great work. The video was done just right!

[@micro963]

It’s just beautiful!! Thank you for sharing. I wish I could do that

[@osmansaatoglu9958]

Seems good so far! Was easy to talk to about his boat Plans t.co/uM8hFDqZOp Guided me in the right direction & helped me understand everything & in the end it was what I wanted

[@kazimomar6820]

You can bro Just get up and sell the equipments and start💪

[@mamroberts1639]

I can do that

[@hughbrien4960]

Just like building a model boat, but on a massive scale! Well done guys, I love the curves at the bow.

[@ishmael4489]

Fantastic video. Thank you!

[@timekeeper5275]

Thank you guys for that video.

[@chrish2996]

Excellent video. Do you build to order or sell boats hulls please. Thankyou

[@mswkickdrum]

Nicely done video. OMG the sanding.

[@user-wc5zg5on7s]

Nice video for boat mold constructions!!!

[@chrish2996]

Want one. Great job, excellent video

[@shehababdullah3927]

Hi,can you tell me how many layers has been used to cover the mould ? And the thickness of the fiberglass material ?

[@klistoffequipmentmachinery9296]

Great video, nice job.

[@nowisthefuturenitf8210]

It's the most beautiful and detailed process

[@hayezmohairbi]

That was very useful. What is the average cost to make one mold for deck and hull for boat size 29 or 30 ft ?

[@kyleroudabush6757]

thats a big boat lol. What kind of wood is used for the planking? can it withstand high temps?

[@ExploreComposites]

Great video of the process! Did you have lots of blocking out the tooling gel on the inside of the mold from the strip planking printing through? I’ve found it helps to glass the wood plug before fairing but this adds a whole big step and extra cost - but makes the plug surface more stable. Looks like you have a very efficient process - thanks for sharing!

[@akhuntfish7557]

Yes glassing the plug before fairing would be more time consuming and expensive. We always try to keep the overall cost down. This process has worked well for us. A quick finish sanding in the mold took care of any imperfections the strip planking might’ve left. Thank you for the comment!

[@keremtopdal2905]

​@Li Li dont lie... I am in this business and in Turkey we have the same machines and that is impossible to make a this big mold less than a day... this big takes about a week... they use cubic PU material. and because it has to be precise cut the head of the cnc machine supposed to turn fast but move slovely... You dont have that tech in chine only babe, as you learn that tech from germany... so dont make it that china has everything and you know things... plus this is not outdated, still used because that tech is 3-5 times much more expensive than this way...

great detail but that room could really use a good ventilation system for all the dust and particles from spraying and sanding

as someone who's designed quite a few hullforms (lines plans); this one is a beauty

[@dennisbasargin6580]

Miss all that sanding!!!

[@titter3648]

How was the plug removed from the mold?

[@danreece9669]

my dad's gillnetter was built like this..36ft x 11 ft , full throttle it does 21 knots with an in line 300 HP .

[@steev910]

share with us the plans

[@Djm02152846]

Whats the name of the mold? Looks very nice!

[@barryrudge1576]

What you didn't show was how you extracted the wooden buck from inside the new mould. I can only presume it was very tight and had to be broken up.

[@petecommanche9344]

As long as you do a thorough job of waxing the final surface of the bucket, the new mould mostly just peels straight out.

[@intalik]

Compressed air. Pops the boat out.

Go for it kid . Im a boat builder as well and my career started off as a dream, nothing is impossible, once you have the love and passion for it thats what it takes to be a successful boat builder. Good luck from Don Marine Boating Company. Trinidad and Tobago. 😎😎😎😎😎

[@123OGNIAN]

Go for it! just remember to always use quality masks.Last thing you want is fiberglass on your lungs.Safety first.

[@Ayrco1]

[@ericmoody3944]

I found a boat shop in the yellow pages 20 years ago, called them up for a job and I still work there. I learned so much more than building boats.

How much would just a blank hull cost?

[@Kevinthedegenerate]

I’m confused as to how the mold come off the stand when the curvatures are being placed. How do they not attach it to the stand

[@user-ny5be4lm8z]

I am interested in knowing what is the white paint used on the mold and the primer are they some special type or regular wood primer cheers Ed

[@akhuntfish7557]

White is just drywall mud, and the primer is an automotive primer

[@daviddiehl197]

Hell, I'd buy the plug and make a boat out of it.

[@mohaabdi8056]

What are the layers of paintings you’re applying and why do you have to sand them every single time you apply them?? Thanks for your answers. Much appreciated!

[@gulfmaster4189]

moha Abdi The first coat is paint (Gelcoat) after applying fiberglass over Gelcoat the surface gets sanded after curing before other layers of fiberglass gets put on. 2-3 layers can be put on at a time while wet.

[@mohaabdi8056]

Gulf master thank you so much for your answer. I really appreciate it.

[@IamWeeklyBills]

I have a hull already built that went out of business in the early 90s and I wanted to make some slight changes on the hull and make a mold out of it. What is the best way to make a mold from a hull already built? Do what u guys did and use it as a plug and then build around it?

[@akhuntfish7557]

Yes probably best to use the hull as a plug after fixing any blemishes and making the changes.

[@junity1]

How was the hull taken out of the mold ??????????????

[@sergiomarmayen5702]

Que materiales le colocó a el molde para el alma. O la estructura queantiene a el molde?

[@nonzensy1554]

what is the gel coating and what brands are offered? and how do you flatten the screwing holes?

[@jamaldarius7291]

3M marine filler or “bondo” works great for filling screw holes, a lot more structural integrity than fairing compounds

[@raimunderdwiens1502]

Hulls for Fishing Boats?

[@shofiuddin8969]

I am looking to follow all the procedures of this video to make it for fun!!! I just want to ask you if Will be expensive to build a fibreglass speedboat or just buy one?

[@charonstyxferryman]

Go with buying the cheapest speed boat hull one you can find, i.e. no motor, and a speed boat that are more shipwreck than boat = you has to be good at fiberglassing. You can also make a composite boat : Take an existing wooden boat, make the hull in a perfect condition, but minus paint and tar, then make it *very* dry before you're fiberglassing the wooden hull You can also use an existing wooden boat as a mould, remember to dry the (unpainted!) wood or you will get problems with the fiberglass end result.

[@jaquigreenlees]

Less costly to buy one than build one. There is a massive amount of engineering going into a speed boat hull, any mistakes in construction and boat sinks. Buying one you have a builder to hold responsible for shoddy work in that case. ;)

[@blakanal7222]

Why are there no stringers on the hull?

[@user-wc5zg5on7s]

I'm wondering if you can film the part of main deck or flybridge.

Where can I get the plans and framing to make a plug? Is there somewhere that sells kits or something? Very interested in making a plug.

[@gulfmaster4189]

We drew up the plans to scale, top view, bottom view, side view, all the frames are measured to scale, cut and built no computer, old school.

[@oundhakar]

Isn't that stern too flat? I'd have expected some curvature and slope here.

[@Tingtvph9226]

Damn... Whats with the clouds of nasty dust??? How hard is it to get an old furnace fan and tape a couple of furnace filters over the outlet to pull all the dust out so you can see what the heck you are doing. Take it from an old shipbuilder, that that dust is an annoyance now, wait till you get older and it all catches up with you.

[@user-ll3wm9op2v]

There are good used lungs sold on ebay, at breath taking price 😅

[@alexandergunarso2308]

How long it takes to finish the mold?

[@akhuntfish7557]

This process took about 3 months

[@yoog1]

Great video! Just wondering, how many times can a boat mold be used?

[@gulfmaster4189]

D K 20-30 times or more.

[@doncunningham3124]

I'm a Tooler at a well known boat manufacturer. We have molds that have been producing parts ( boats) for many years now. Proper materials as well as maintenance will make them last a long time.

[@trevor5290]

Incredible cost of man power and epoxy etc etc.. no wonder they cost so much.

[@DanTheManIOM]

what material is the planking ? 1/4 plywood ? IDK

[@akhuntfish7557]

1/2” mdf

[@okiedoak201]

Where did all the wood framing go after it was flipped...

[@user-ll3wm9op2v]

Trash,

[@akhuntfish7557]

The wood framing (the plug) was removed from the mold and taken to the trash, not reusable

[@kyawkyawtv949]

I don’t understand, they applied the fiberglass outside the mold when it finished they remove it from inside

Can you say PPE? Do you know what it's for?

[@h.s76]

Good morning sir Do you help me to make mold of slide

[@cgriebel1]

Unless I missed something...when did you guys remove the framing/wood plug structure? It appears you omitted the process entirely? The video goes from flipping over the entire plug/mold to morphing into a real mold, sans framing structure. What was involved in the removal of the wooden structure, and when was this process done??

[@BasarginBoats]

There was no footage of this step, but the plug/framing was broken apart and removed by hand after the mold was flipped over.

[@cgriebel1]

Yes, I caught that when it was flipped. Thanks!!
