It's actually because of Mr Adams that I made a fibreglass mould. He's given me tons of advice and helped massively. But very few want to sell for obvious reasons. And you are right, he seems to know everything in the fibrous game.

Not even thought about silicone yet. What mould have you done that for then?

Hi all, I am soon going to be making my second fibreglass mould but was wandering if anyone has any for sale? As I'm working in my garage and there's only so much I can do at once and may move so would need a small workshop. So I need some moulds to justify doing so. I live in Worthing, West...

Yeah they have done it over the top in material. And of course cuts the profit margin down.

Did a job today where the cornice was made how I would like to do it. ( So no picture of volcanos)

Definitely not the Chinese dog s**t. Ha. It's only for Georgians where you can keep the strength but also make it lighter by not having the bulk in the middle. Not for every cornice as that would be pointless. This is the firm that did it for certain cornices. http://colesplastermouldings.co.uk

In theory,but I buy cornice from some good firm's and weak spots still appear. Don't need to do it for all cornices but Georgian and Victorian were made amazingly by this guy in Essex. So it's something I will do buy just want to know the best way and materials for doing so.

This is what I mean as so many times cornice is too heavy in places and then weak in others so this is why I want to make it consistent on the back. Doesn't have to be smooth like the front but close to what ever I run over the back so that I know it's strong in all areas.

You get it! :)

I will do a drawing later that doesn't look like it was drawn by my 2 year old. And I don't see how a lath is going to make all that smooth on the back? Only the strike off areas, but it wouldn't do all of the back of the profile.

Sorry been hard at work then falling asleep. Here is a s**t drawing of what I mean. So I have the cornice being a consistent thickness throughout the length.

I will draw something later and post a picture of what I mean as some cornices that wouldn't work as would be too heavy.

I was wandering what people use when you strike off the cornice like a profile so that the cornice is consistent on the back? As will be easier to stand when drying and will know there are no weak spots when doing small boxing's. There was a guy from Essex who did that and my family all loved...

Yeah it's me. Full of questions. Ha. Well that will save me a few quid for now then as the wife has those at her mum's. Thanks again!

I am making cornice as of this weekend and the clients I work for like it dry, as do I really. So anyone know the best heater to get as only starting out in my garage for now.
