Here’s the start of side 2 of the fuse mould, Just been painted with a good thick layer of tooling gel-coat.
Once the gel-coat has set but is still tacky, some bog made from Polyester laminating resin mixed with West systems microfiber blend, is pushed into the sharp corners where it would be hard for the glass to go. Remembering to put some around where the guide pins go.
Smooth it out a bit with a shaped stick
Paint it with resin and start laying up the cloth starting with some light stuff to hold it all together.
Then finishing up with 3 layers of heavy tri-axial to make it nice and stiff
