How To Make Fiberglass Fender Molds. Part 1 of 2. Sky-gea build: Part 8

[@Notasheepleandneverwillbe]

I like that it's just showing us how to do , and not a bunch of b-roll and talking to the camera .

[@adrianvanderzandt4310]

Absolutely phenomenal! I've been moulding and casting for years (although in the prop making industry, where quick and dirty is the order of the day) and I have never seen such neat and meticulous work. TOW is a master craftsman. I learn so much from these videos. Much respect!

[@TofuAutoWorks]

Thanks mate! There's always a time and place for quick and dirty moulds too, ones with packing tape repairs and where you just coat the thing in PVA and cross your fingers but I usually point the camera the other way for those ones haha.

[@johnthompson9918]

@@TofuAutoWorkswhat part would you be using PVA for? To replace your resin??

[@nosaint01]

Best content on the internet....seriously. Even your mold is beautiful. Love it

[@TofuAutoWorks]

Thanks bro I really appreciate that!

Perfect way to start the Sunday, excellent work 👍

You're videos are so chill and awesome to watch. Love the process.

While i was watching this video, i found i was saying WOW constantly at your meticulous work.. Was an absolute privilege to watch.

[@vince8289]

Excellent craftsmanship! So enjoyable to watch the master.

[@TherapyGel]

I'm blown away by your methods and attention to detail! I know a custom build is in my future and your channel has been an excellent resource for techniques and an efficient workflow. Thank you for all your hard work, and keep it up!

[@commonsense7754]

Yay this might finally mean the end of the "imagine using that much bog in a panel..." Etc comments from those who still haven't figured out it's all narrated via subtitles lol

[@TofuAutoWorks]

Oh I reckon I'll still get those almost constantly even after this build is finished haha 😂

[@richard-gn3es]

Imagine using this much fiberglass in a mould tho

Great job sir, I’ve dabbled with mold making and enjoyed watching someone else going through the process. Now to watch episode 2 👍

[@BigDadGigaCHAD]

Incredible work as always. Skills unmatched 🔥🔥🔥

[@TofuAutoWorks]

Thanks man. There's a tonne of other amazing channels out there, if you haven't already, check out Street Bandito and Easy Composites. Half of what I know I learned from those 2 channels alone. ✌

An absolute professional. I enjoyed watching every single part of the process.

[@simoncherwell]

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this video. It was really fun and interesting to watch, and I learned lots. Clearly a lot of time goes into moulding even a single panel, particularly when it's done as meticulously as this!

You are doing this step by step the right way !!! cant wait to see the end result !

[@garagespooky8193]

Sanding fiberglass and blowing the dust everywhere in your shop while wearing a tank top is the most gangster sh!t I’ve seen all day.

[@seatleon57220]

I think we can call you the sandingman !! Incredible job !!👍

[@SunShyne_Culture]

As an audio engineer, we always say half the mix is done during the recordings (1st stage). So what TOW is doing now means after casting it's straight prep for paint. There will be nothing to fill or correct. Best way, great job bro, love it. If it was possible I'd like you wing my car!

[@Golf60G]

Amazing work 👍🏻

[@fourcam150]

What a fascinating process! Good work!! 👍

[@krisgodfrey]

So much time and patience going into the mold’s and build, great to watch, its going to be sik when its completed

[@TylerRogersUSA]

Serious props on progress per video and your schedule. Just got back into editing and forgot the amount of mindless hours it can consume. Great to watch a perfectionist with a vision, keep it goin!

[@TofuAutoWorks]

Yeah editing is the bane of my life right now haha. I actually prefer sanding to editing videos all day 😂

[@kevingilroy]

Awesome video. I'll finish watching after work. Also, it looks like you live in a beautiful area.

Good info. Gonna help when I try n make my widebody kit for my sedan

[@TofuAutoWorks]

That's what I like to hear mate. I'll have more videos specifically on making the widebody for this one as well so that should be pretty helpful too. 👍

[@GlassWerx]

Awesome. Your miata is how I found ya a while back was looking at some diy widebody stuff and it popped up. Definitely 2 amazing builds. A stagea is definitely a car I wish and hope to one day get but import cost to the states are so high.

[@kenecchi]

I wanted to argue with your flanges but it looks like they worked out great. That's some serious cardboard you've got there ;)

[@TofuAutoWorks]

Haha, yeah a lot of trial and error. I've done coreflute, signboard, polycarb, tin, and even made my own flanges out of fiberglass before for some really tricky shapes, cardboard is surprisingly good if you're spraying a sealer over it.

[@kenecchi]

@@TofuAutoWorks Awesome, I'll give it a try sometime, probably with a backing layer of csm just to be safe!

I tried once to fiberglass a little piece and that was a nightmare 🤣🤣(to do, and because the resin never wanted to turn in the solid state...😵‍💫 ) Your work is impressive !! A pleasure to watch !!! From France :D

[@SergioA-xd7nf]

С Владивостока привет крутой проект у вас 🔥

[@charlestonbrown9161]

You should definetoy either sell the moulds after all this or make fenders periodically and sell those! Just an idea…

[@TofuAutoWorks]

I'll be selling the entire kit for this car when it's complete. I'm also looking at having them produced in the US for my international customers.

[@caveone-365]

Agreed. Make a 'plug/ mould' from your originals and use some PVA or release agent to pop em off. 👍

[@_autoverse]

If anyone ever looks at the price of a decent bodykit and thinks it’s outrageous, especially from a small company. They should watch your vids to truly appreciate the work and time that goes into making them, after all this is essentially the prep work stage of developing the kit and you’ve already invested so much time and effort. In short when it comes to pricing up the complete kit don’t undervalue yourself.

[@ronanelm2644]

Great video! I'm planning to take a mold for my bonnet

Great process, big thumbs up! 😉

[@animal_engineering]

Awesome work, I need to make a lot of molds for a future project, have watched a lot of videos on the process. I really like the gap filler instead of body filler, much easier to work with. Bloody crazy how many hours goes into making a perfect part, and then the amount of hours to make a mold off that part.

[@rushmatic]

Dude, this is awesome!!!

[@johnterpack3940]

[@bay7695]

I'll never use wax and PVA together as i have had so many problems with them reacting. There's some waxes that work better with PVA, but my two cents is, if you put minimum of 5 coats wax (miracle gloss i guess is some as mirror glaze by meguairs says IIRC 6 layers first time) you don't need PVA. On fast pulls and couple of products done, i've used only PVA sprayed on couple layers. But I gotta say, i like your style on laminates, getting the mat wet first and then brushing it shape. Keep up the good work.

[@TofuAutoWorks]

I'm a similar way. I don't really use PVA anymore because of how much of a pain it is to deal with, but I figured for the sake of this video is was best to show people the most fool proof way of tackling a mould. I'll always recommend PVA over wax when making a pattern off a plug because you never quite know how the paint on the plug will respond to the gelcoat. However when I'm making parts from completed moulds I usually just skip the PVA step. There are also alternatives like easylease or frekote that I'd recommend but those are much more expensive than PVA and I wanted to show a more entry level video for people just starting out.

[@cali_cal]

Used to do this kinda work. almost the same but for sure did more sanding to prep the mold for sure. either way its going to come out great

[@fibrainnovacion]

Excelente trabajó, eres un chingón, saludos desde México 🇲🇽👍

Master Jedi Level Mold Making. The only thing I would have done differently is allow the first layer to gel before applying subsequent layers.

[@Waza87]

Dont forget to breathe, very important - mr myogi Definitly heard his voice when i read the captions rip

[@automan1223]

if you are trying to get the best surface finish use a coupling foam pad between your sander & paper on your last go round.

[@eddieboncit7876]

So clean bro..nice

[@Keasbeysknight]

Wow, I'd have fucked that up 5 times over. What an involved process! Awesome video

Astonishing work as always ❤️ When is part 2 ?

[@TofuAutoWorks]

I'll be working on it as soon as I've finished up this side and the other side. Not going to bore anyone with a video on making a second one of these so I'll just put them together in 1 video. Should have it up in a couple weeks hopefully.
