My mould is a basic tube 1.5m long x 300mm dia. So I have bolted the halves together to rub down the split. I have attached a picture of the inside. It shows the splits, and you can see how rough it is at points (this is the worst bit). Do I try to make the split better, or I am I worrying about nothing? I just don't like the roughness of it. If I leave it as is, I would imagine at worst it will mean buffing a bit of resin off the finished tube, which isn't a deal breaker. Any recommendations?.....
If I was to clean up the split lines, I would imagine the best way would be to get one half flat and apply release to it, then lightly chamfer the other half, then bolt them together, then smear gelcoat in to the join, then buff it down?
