    His boats are quite simply works of art. His riggers are all his own designs. If you want to see some How-to pictorials, check out his album over on International Waters. If you really want to drool, check out his "dream shop"...its amazing.
    Reesor, I've tried once again to register with Intl Waters with no success.
    I tried it back in Sept., Dec., and now Feb without any progress. Funny thing is, I helped a friend get on that forum with no problem. LOL! I guess that's the way it goes.

    Could you send me a direct link to his How-to guide? Thanks, I really appreciate it.

            I clicked the link earlier and it loaded, but I didn't go any further. What did you see Egneg? Did the site load for you?

                    I get the same "Orphaned Lure Site" message using firefox browser and AVG free anti virus..
                    If you google "Orphaned Lure Site" you get a info that the page was hacked at some time and likely still contains malicious code

                      Steve I have done the tape method and it is not that eazy. The tape likes to stick to the hardned Resin very hard to remove. It is allso hard to get to stickwhen in the wet form. That is why I spend all the time making molds and doing lay ups.

                        Thanks for the experienced input Randy, now if I could just get you to make this for me! LOL, J/K I like to do myself.

                        On second thought, I may have to stop by your shop some time to watch it done! Or you could post one of those 45min videos and give away all of your secrets

                          Hi Randy
                          I had good results with the colored packing tape I use to tape up foam airplanes.A friend uses spray applied mold release over the tape to facilitate removal.
                          I think a mold for a simple tub would be just a little more work than the lost foam method and would produce superior results ....after making the plug all you need to do is make a splitter plate..joggle gasket...and do a good job on laying up the mold.
                          There are tutorials on the web for doing this Mensiscus if you just search around a little

                              It's an offset part of the mold that provides a lip to mate the other 1/2 of the part to.
