Good morning all,
As part of a student project I have to make an infusion flax fiber boat hull.
Having a fairly small budget, I have to make my mold myself (4 large molds 2500mm * 1000mm * 600mm).
I chose to make a rigid polyurethane foam mold that I would come to cut in order to have my shape.
However, I don't know what product to use next to waterproof my mold and obtain a smooth surface effect.
I saw that the S120 (

might be suitable what do you think? what about duratec 707-002 (

-compatible-% C3% A9poxy.html # / 403-weight-495_kg_100_g_de_pmec)?
What products do you use to make your molds? Have you ever made polyurethane molds?
I also thought of putting film of stabilizer for model making oracover type but I do not know if it adheres well to the surface.
In any case, thank you for your advice and I hope to have feedback from you
**Sorry for the traduction I am french and english is not my best asset.

Unless its a high density model board as opposed to a foam, chances are the S120 will not have the filling abilities to fill the surface pores on a typical foam. Ideally a thin scrim of woven glass.....
