Good morning Joe from beautiful South Louisiana at Lafayette! I’m 71 years old and had my prostate removed on 5/14! Getting a ton of rest and all I watch is TH-cam during the day! Started watching your work and be came hooked instantly! The 29 is a work of art and maybe after recovery I can book a trip with you. I had no clue how much time and effort goes into this project! I’ve subscribed and like every video I watch (of yours)! Logan is an awesome camera man and Mark is a nice addition to the pot! Thanks again for your sharing and expertise wow what a blessing!🙏🙏🙏
Wow, what a nice comment, and thanks so much for watching from the amazing state of Louisiana! I am glad you are enjoying the channel and that we can help entertain you while you get some much needed rest! I appreciate you watching, and I wish for you the fastest of recoveries!
Maybe you could mention why it is so important to make the plug to be so perfect. Will the blemishes in the mould become amplified with each step, I.E. Plug, mould, final product?
Thanks for the suggestion! Yes, any flaw or blemish in the plug will be transferred to the mold. The good news is that you can wet sand and polish the mold as well. That will ensure that you will have as close to a perfect mold as possible. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Amazing content Joe... You're passionate and knowledgeable on the subject of composites fabrication and it shows! Anyone building composite components needs to see this series. I applaud you for taking the time to put this video series together! Real Talk.
What a great Saturday morning with Episode 5 just one day after Episode 4. I'm in the middle of replacing an AIRMAR transducer with a much nicer Garmin transducer, in addition to adding two more Garmin ClearView/SideView transducers to my boat. I have blue painters tape on the hull to help with laying out the locations for the additional transducers, and for a brief moment got a sense of what it's like to be Captain Joe. Great job and thanks for all that you're doing. I joined your Patreon group and will be using your links to order supplies as needed so that I can help out the channel in a small way.
Super cool that you're willing to share your knowledge about fiberglass work, can be kind of daunting to figure it out alone sometimes. I followed your video on buffing out gelcoat oxidation and polishing, and my goodness the boat shines like a mirror for the first time since we got it! Big thank you from Seattle 🤙
@@melinda5777 Seychelles is world famous for being one of the most beautiful islands in the world. Look it up and have a look. We love our boats over here. I used to be into composites when I lived in the UK. But love watching your videos for some good ideas and also just to watch your great enthusiasm 👍
Very impressed with the attention to details you have. It’s great to see that there are people on this planet that are still committed to perfection, beautiful work. RJ. From Ottawa, CANADA
I've really enjoyed this tutorial, I have a 30ft cat that is in need of some love, it is glass over ply, how I found your channel, you do great work Joe, big tha ks from Australia 🇦🇺
Hi Joe from Brisbane Australia. You mentioned in the previous section the possibility of using Automotive primers and fillers. I have done this several times and despite getting an excellent polished on the plug and waxing as many as 10 times, the downside has been that invariably the subsequent mould pulled off the surface has taken a fair bit of primer with it. This has wiped out of the mould fairly easily with mineral turns (not Acetone or MEK on new tooling gelcoat). Leaves the plug imperfect again but for 1 off mould pulls it is OK. I have often consoled myself with the thought that "at least it released" ??Possibly styrene attacking the automotive stuff?? Joe, I really like the polyester catalysed high build filler and primer you used and will likely go looking for them next larger .mould I build. Great series. PeterK
Hi Peter, thanks for watching all the way from Australia 🇦🇺! I appreciate the feedback on using automotive primers, and how they react. I had a suspicion that they might not work perfect, or else we would see more use of them in the industry. The special primers we use are priced in the same ballpark, and will give you the results you are looking for. I would highly recommend giving them a try on your next project!
Thanks Joe, and thanks for such an accurate and detailed representation of mould building. I will try the special primers you used in this expo - the results speak for themselves in the reflection through your open door. I am looking forward to seeing the fullness of your mould release system when you take mould of the plug. Also keen to see how you will structurally reinforce a working mould to support and stop twisting. Great series, makes me wish I was there. Peter
By far the best tutorial on how to polish and wax. Even for us not building a boat but just keeping our factory built boats in shape. Major thanks and greetings from Stockholm Archipelago, Sweden.
Thank you for putting this up. I've been wanting to learn this for quite a while. Hopefully you take the series all the way to popping a hard top from the mold.
Thamks for the back to back vids. Your work is top notch and this content is definitely going to help save time and money by eliminating some of the guesswork. Mahalo Capt Joe
Question I'm rebuilding a 1989 grady-white sailfish 252g what would you recommend to get a good bond against my transom to new plywood rebuilding from inside I'm thinking polyester I'm videoing it on my channel Little Bit Off Outdoors I'm in wv and there's no boat shops around here hope to here from you thanks
I have had really good success with vinyl Ester resin in those kind of applications. If I were using polyester resin, I always use a good ISO or isophthalic resin. Of course there are fans of epoxy when it comes to bonding things together, but remember that epoxy may not work well with many polyester or vinyl Ester based fillers or gelcoats. I hope this helps, and thanks for watching!
I'm new to your channel and this series. I'm really enjoying them. In another video, you asked for any suggestions on future content. I have two suggestions. (1) I'd be interested if instead of this series being about making multiple parts in a production type process (plug => mold => parts) what differences you would make, making a one-off boat hull. I imagine these first five episodes for making the plug would cover most of the process, but would want the heavy wooden base structure removable. I'm sure there'd be other aspects like (2) what you use for scantlings for your boats - purely historic (family) knowledge or some analysis procedure?
Welcome to the channel! Thanks for the video suggestion about building a one off boat vs building from a mold. I have some ideas for another boat, so who knows, maybe we can do that in the future.
So this "product" has abrasives within it? If you had to guess would you compare it to wetsanding w/ 600grit or a higher paper b/c I knew this can be done using wet paper. There's so many products that I'm glad you're showcasing some of them but I'm aware that before these products came along this type work was done w/ sand paper type methods. BTW, I did marble tops of antique stuff using ; you guessed it = sand paper. 400 & Up was how we polished it back in the 80's. Thanks for all the info!
Yes, there are mild abrasives in the compound that help bring out additional shine. Pretty common use here in the boat world, but I could certainly see other uses for it. Glad you are enjoying the videos and I appreciate you watching!
What a work ! I kind of start figuring out that you have to do three time an amazing work to get to the final piece. Are you intending to build multiple time the top because the process to get to the mold is quite time and energy consuming ? As usual awesome demonstration and very good explanations ! Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thanks, glad you are enjoying the channel! Yes, I do plan on building more of the hardtops. Otherwise I would probably have just built a one off. A lot of the processes we are using during the plug build could be applied if you just Wanted to build one though. I hope this helps, and I appreciate you watching!
A perfect "production" mold... Are you sure you are not going to put that son to work making production boats. It will be interesting to see you apply the gelcoat, mat, the rest of the glass and mount points. I need to build something similar for myself but will probably just build up a plug since I only will make one for my boat. Thanks for the great video. I look forward to the next in the series... Joe
Haha, we will see! Molds make sense if you plan to build several parts, that's for sure. I hope the video has some useful info even for those only planning to build one part! As always thanks for watching and commenting!
Greetings Captain Joe, I always enjoy your videos, which leave me with great learnings. I bother you this time to ask you a question. A few weeks ago I replaced the core of the floor on my boat, I reused the original floor layer, but now I have a long scar on the deck. Could you tell me what product and what Technique I should use to restore it correctly. Thank in advance!
Wonderful job of Teaching class at TH-cam University captain! Thanks so much. You made the comment about going out on a Freeman Cat. After the 29 is complete how about a Busken 29’ Cat? Dave East uses two Kevlacat molds a 24’ and 30’ and builds what ever the Heart desires or as he says what ever the check book can handle. I believe Eastward boats is two years out on order to delivery 🤔
You are so welcome! Glad you are enjoying the channel! Who knows what we might do once things are rolling along.I have always liked the big offshore cats, or maybe a more offshore focused monohull would fit the bill!
Thanks for the informative video, all that buffing and waxing will keep you fit :) One question, maybe I missed it but do you vary the speed of your buffer as you change colour of wheels and compounds? Faster at the waxing stage? Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, you can vary the speeds of the buffer. I usually start slow, then build some speed, but still not usually more than about 1200 rpm. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Glad you are enjoying the channel! Sorry, no videos of the hull plug build. I didn't start videoing until the mold separation from the plug. I didn't have a TH-cam channel at the time. I do have a video on the console plug and mold build that you might find interesting! Thanks for watching!
Does that polishing compound work for gelcoat haze? I have a 29 Oceans Super Sport that the topsides need to be polished every spring to bring the shine back before waxing. That is something the way you can get primer to shine like that. I have that same Dewalt buffer, I love it.
Absolutely, the compound will work just as well on gelcoat. I get mine from Fiberglass Warehouse, but I think you might be able to find it on Amazon as well. Best of luck with your project and thanks for watching!
love your vids, very informative! for the average schmuck that doesn't have a lot of money wouldn't it be possible to just take that form you're making and transformer into the top itself rather than forgo the cost of making both a mold and a top? I can see why you're making a mold because you can make other tops in the future but I just need one top for my Chris craft 254 walk around. I can't afford to do both.
Thanks! Yes, you could build just one part as the original. It is a slightly different process, but many of the techniques we are using in this series could be applied. I will probably do something like that in the future, so stay tuned!
Hi Captain Joe, I’m building a mold off my port keel for starboard keel build. I have a question, did you use PVA as well as Orca Shimmer Wax or just the wax for release. Thanks as always.
I used just the Orca shimmer mold release wax. Using PVA as a second layer is not a bad idea, though. The hardtop was a fairly simple, very smooth surface that I didn't expect any problems with. Something with more complex shapes or imperfections would probably need something extra. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Ahhhh good old mold waxing. My arm still hurts from the 12 coats of wax on the 46' lobsterboat mold at the boatshop I worked at. Bossman always said only 3 coats a day.
Usually a molded part is going to be of higher quality, and I plan on building several parts from this mold. If you only want one part, you could just build it as a one off part. I will probably do some videos on that process at some point for you all. Thanks for watching!
No, I did 7 layers or coats on this part. I believe I say that on this or the next video in the series. Then we usually do one or two coats on every new part we make. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

Thanks, glad you are enjoying the hardtop mold series!
It's those small tips that really help...like angling the buffer so that the rotation is downward and not going to catch the bottom edge. Awesome.

سلام استاد لطف میکنید بگید این صفحه زیبا مربوط به چیه متشکرم
May be a stupid question but why not just skip two steps and use the plug as the part. seems like a lot of work for a simple part
because he is making a mold so he can produce as many parts as he wants
Usually a molded part is going to be of higher quality, and I plan on building several parts from this mold. If you only want one part, you could just build it as a one off part. I will probably do some videos on that process at some point for you all. Thanks for watching!
Are you putting only 1 layer of wax on the Plug/Master? I put 7 layers waiting for 1 hour between 2 layers...
No, I did 7 layers or coats on this part. I believe I say that on this or the next video in the series. Then we usually do one or two coats on every new part we make. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
