Thread: Build yourself a fibreglass stock

I did a two part cast like you have, smear the silicon thickly around the edges making sure to push it down into the corners, then leave that to set then fill in the rest. It does take a couple of days for the silicon to set right through.
I put petroleum jelly on the action first to act as a release agent.

Was your release agent for the stock moulding petroleum jelly too?
