For larger moulds (up to the size of full boat hulls) the Uni‐Mould system is still ideal but special measures need to be undertaken when applying the mould reinforcement. Please contact us for more details" Is there something I need to think about that is not explained in the instructions?

For a large bonnet mould, this would almost certainly be a necessity to give the tool dimensional stability and also because it makes the tool easier to handle and work with by providing a flatter frame or base to stop it rocking on your work surface.
