Johnsonboat that's some nice work...I'm probably missing something, but shouldn't the corner radius be on the outside of the mold since the inside of the rod box is what shows?....like I said, I'm probably missing something here...

I don't think it's a mold. It looks like he's building a wooden rod box.

Yes it's not mold. Don't have the skills for that. I wish I I was confident enough to do a mold.

Johnsonboat, The mold is the easiest part of the job , you just build a box. Checkout the thread " Once again i must ask the v20 gods" In general

wellcraftvstep, thats great info. This site is really helpful. I wish I would have thought of doing a mold from the begining but at this point after already buying way too much interlux products to paint the boxes i can't afford to revert to gelcoat. I'm learning the hard way I guess. And most important, want to get this boat done before spring striper run.

I think I have a set of rod boxes out of a 79' Cuddy in my parents garage. I don't remember what kind of shape their in. Let me know if anyone is interested and I'll check.

Hope I'm not hijacking this thread. So tell me if I am, I'm new to posting on boards.
Stepv, I have Interlux briteside off white and prekote primer as well as epoxy primekote primer. Really dont need to get rid of it but if you need some you are welcome to get it west marine has it if not. What a p.i.a. Finding out after getting prekote, that it won't cure ouer the epoxy corners. Guess I should have consulted with the v20 pros.
